«Azur et Asmar» is the illustrated album by Michel Ocelot, published by Nathan in hardcover (70 pages, in French).
Modern fairy tale about Azur, blond with blue eyes, and Asmar, dark-haired, two children raised as brothers by the same wet nurse. The album recovers the essential scenes from Michel Ocelot's animated movie of the same name (2006): adventures in Oriental settings with a message of friendship and respect for diversity.
Published on October 12, 2006 to coincide with the release of the movie of the same name, it is part of the «Azur et Asmar» series. Recommended reading age: 3 to 12 years.
Designed for children aged 3 and up, with a narrative and illustrations that also appeal to adult followers of Michel Ocelot.
