Art makes the world go round!
The Discovery of Anime and Manga is the first English children's book on these topics.
Dao is an adorable red panda who can travel back in time and place! He befriends the curious kids Ethan and Emma and transports them in the blink of an eye to Asia. Together they (and appreciative readers) have fun discovering how some very cool creations were invented there. If only every school field trip was like this!
In their latest adventure, the trio return East to see how Japanese comics and animation came to be! Based upon the traditions of drawing and painting, these art forms spread across mass media. Famous creators drew cartoons in newspapers and magazines, then books and comics. Iconic characters dazzled audiences in film and television and then home video and the internet. Together anime and manga swept across the world of entertainment!

Reviews
"Co-authors Phil Amara and Oliver Chin have done an incredible job introducing anime and manga to readers along with vibrant comic book illustrations drawn by artist Juan Calle. Calle’s illustrations pop in every single page, from the paintbrush dripping ink, to the characters blending in with well-known anime and manga characters. Calle brings every iconic anime and manga creator and character to life such as Tezuka Osamu (Astro Boy), Naoko Takeuchi (Sailor Moon), Akira Toriyama (Dragon Ball), Satoshi Tajiri (Pokemon), and the notable “Walt Disney of Japan” himself, Hayao Miyazaki (My Neighbor Totoro). The Discovery of Anime and Manga is a fun page turner that will surely get young readers brimming with curiosity and excitement."
