Why I made Tunisian Heroes
Our children grow up surrounded by superheroes from somewhere else. I wanted my daughter to meet heroes from her own history, in her own language: a queen who founded Carthage, a general who crossed the Alps, women who reach for the sky.
Tunisian Heroes is a home for these stories: books, songs and characters that are fun, safe and clean, and that help children abroad feel close to Tunisia.
