Yakari

(Cinebook, 2005)
™ and © 1973 le Lombard

Don’t pass up this book. The Yakari series from Cinebook has an innocent charm and artistic appeal that transcend age and race. Originally published by Dargaud in France in the ’70s, the title has been available in England and now comes to America.

Yakari, the courageous little American Indian, and his faithful horse, Little Thunder, live in harmony with the world around him. Yakari can talk to the animals, and, in Beavers, Yakari and Thunder befriend inhabitants of a beaver lodge on a mission to build a dam and colony downstream. When Linden Tree goes missing after a tree-scouting mission, Yakari follows him into an underground cave — and into artistic history.

The simple stories of co-operation and respect come through crystal clear. Ideal for libraries and young readers from early grade school on, the full range of titles from Cinebook will encourage an interest in graphic novels and comic books.
