Koko & Ti'mû #[nn]

Part of Bamboo Édition's Ma Première BD (My First Comic) series, this charming 2018 all-ages album by Richard Di Martino introduces young readers to an unlikely island duo: Ti'mu, a lively girl in a grass skirt with a flower in her hair, and Koko, an expressive talking rock perched on the sun-baked beach. Behind them, a lush tropical island crowned by a steep volcanic peak sets the scene, while a ship trailing dark smoke and circling helicopters hint that this paradise may be facing some outside trouble. Warm, colorful, and full of personality, it's a delightful entry point into comics for the youngest readers.
