"Sam & Julia"
The Mouse Mansion has expanded "Sam & Julia" reach in France with the launch of the world premiere of the very first four storybooks based on the animated series by Larousse.
Carine Girac Marinier, Director of the Dictionaries, Encyclopedia, and Extracurricular Department said: "The Larousse editions are delighted to publish beautiful albums featuring 'Sam and Julia', the heroes of the popular animated series aired on Okoo. Through this engaging and caring universe, young children aged 3 to 6 will joyfully and playfully discover the concepts of sharing, welcoming, and living together."
Léon-Gilbert Hus, Producer added: “After bringing 'Sam & Julia' to life on screen, seeing the very first books inspired by the animated series reach readers worldwide is incredibly rewarding. It’s a joy to witness these beloved mice continue their adventures both on screen and in print, capturing hearts everywhere.”
Gallimard will relaunch the classic first book/title "Sam & Julia" (that first launched in 2012) with a fresh new look and feel. As part of this relaunch, over 210 bookstores across France that have ordered more than eight copies will receive a delightful plush version of "Sam & Julia" to adorn their shelves.
BACK TO THE TV
"Sam & Julia" returned to the French TV last March 10th with three episodes daily on France 5 and Okoo. On the other hand, discussions are underway with the Okoo social media team about potential collaborations featuring the newly released Larousse storybooks.
