In November 1937 Shanghai, Yaya, an eight-year-old girl from a wealthy diamond merchant family, is passionate about the piano and preparing for an important audition. However, her father decides they must flee the city due to the impending Japanese invasion. Unaware of the danger, Yaya runs away the night before their departure, determined to reach her audition. Amidst the chaos of the evacuation, she is caught in a bombardment and saved by Tuduo, a street urchin who finds her unconscious in the ruins. Once she learns her family has fled to Hong Kong without her, Yaya resolves to join them, and Tuduo dreams of a better life with her family. He decides to accompany her on the perilous journey, but first, he must escape the clutches of Zhu, the leader of a gang of homeless boys. Zhu, upon discovering Yaya's wealthy background, plots to kidnap her for ransom. As they flee south, Yaya and Tuduo encounter a range of characters, both kind and cruel. Their contrasting backgrounds and personalities lead them to valuable lessons about judging others by character rather than status. Amidst the war's gloom, their youthful imagination and humor provide a poetic touch to their harrowing adventure, highlighting the resilience of youth in the face of tragedy.

Początek przygodowej opowieści dla dzieci o spełnianiu marzeń, walce o wolność i miłości do zwierząt. Pierwszy tom serii zdobył nagrodę na francuskim Festiwalu Komiksowym w Blois w 2020 roku. W tym samym roku na podstawie komiksu powstał długometrażowy film animowany. Rodzice Lulu są cyrkowymi treserami lwów. Zarówno oni, jak ich córka kochają zwierzęta, którymi się zajmują. Niestety, najpierw ginie matka dziewczynki, a zaraz potem cyrkowe drapieżniki... Bohaterka postanawia wyruszyć do Afryki po nowe lwy do oswojenia. Ale czy dziesięciolatka sprosta takiemu zadaniu? I czy naprawdę wyobraża sobie, że lwy lubią żyć w niewoli? Także ludzie pragną wolności, co Lulu sobie uświadomi, kiedy dotrze do Afryki Południowej i pozna prawdę o systemie segregacji rasowej. Historia o niebezpiecznej wyprawie na kraniec świata w prosty i piękny sposób ukazuje, jak dobro może zwyciężać zło. Scenarzystami serii są Charlotte Girard i Jean-Marie Omont, którzy wcześniej wspólnie tworzyli niezwykle wysoko oceniany przez czytelników cykl mangowy „La balade de Yaya”. Rysunki są dziełem Aurélie Neyret, ilustratorki pism dziecięcych i współautorki znanej także w Polsce serii „Pamiętniki Wisienki”.

Während Lulu und Nelson darauf warten, dass Lulus Vater aus dem Gefängnis freikommt, finden sie Unterschlupf auf dem Hof einer neuen Freundin: der Aktivistin Mary. Von dort aus begeben die Kinder sich auf die Suche nach den Löwen, die im afrikanischen Busch leben. Sie ahnen nicht, in welche Gefahr sie sich begeben… Vor dem Hintergrund Afrikas der 60er Jahre erzählt »Lulu und Nelson« die bittersüße Geschichte eines willensstarken Mädchens, das trotz großer Verluste den Mut nicht verliert und neue Freundschaften knüpft. Runder Strich und kraftvollen Farben: Der unverwechselbare Stil von Aurélie Neyret, Zeichnerin der beliebten Reihe »Crissis Tagebücher«, setzt das kindgerechte Abenteuer perfekt in Szene.
