TABULA RAISA

Synopsis

Tabula Raisa is a hand-drawn children’s adventure series for readers aged 6 and up. Raisa is a lovable Spanish wondergirl who longs for answers. Who makes our keepsakes — with what, how, and why? They’re treasured by parents. They surely don’t fall from the sky! She meets a new friend on a walk, then makes an even more life-changing discovery — there’s an extraordinary magician in her tablet. Together, they travel to 52 international destinations, meet artisans, learn about their goods and challenges, and fall in love with the craftsmanship.

Be exposed to elements of another culture
Be encouraged to socialize freely

From the Author

“Tabula Raisa (pronounced TAB-you-lah RAY-sah) derives from the Latin “tabula rasa,” which means clean slate or a mind not yet affected by experiences and impressions. Raisa is a transformative role model for children, in the mold of Dora the Explorer. Born in Seville, Spain. She's excited to meet new people, discover, question, become smarter, and love genuinely.”

— Eric S. Townsend
