Known in France as the 'prince of pre-school books', Hervé Tullet - the author and illustrator - takes the concept of reading to a new level, teaching young minds to think imaginatively, independently and creatively. Phaidon attended a workshop with him at the Ecole Maternelle Jean Jaurès Sud in Paris and shared the entrancing experience with the class.

Children Books Author Herve Tullet came to Malawi to create a giant mobile sculpture with the children of the Jacaranda School for Orphans, and to perform readings of his books in various schools in the country. With funding from the French Embassy in Malawi, the Jacaranda Foundation organized Herve Tullet's work with the children of Malawi.

Hervé Tullet est l'auteur, illustrateur et agitateur incontournable de la littérature jeunesse qui n'a pas ses pinceaux dans sa poche. Avec les enfants japonais, ils ont peinturluré des toiles géantes au Musée d'Art Contemporain de Tokyo ainsi que le centre commercial Fujii Daimaru à Kyoto avec des couleurs explosives !
