Synopsis:

Enter the world of Tanaraya: The Yaksa Slayer (Difference Engine), a brand-new middle-grade graphic novel series that is a thrilling retelling of popular Indonesian folktales 'Timun Emas' and 'Bawang Merah and Bawang Putih'.

You can follow the adventures of Mera, Puti and Emas – a brave trio determined to seek the truth behind natural disasters happening across the islands they call home. Could these occurrences be tied to the Yaksas, mysterious, ancient giants who roam their world?

Meet Bali-based comics creator Kathrinna R. aka Nana, who will not only share more about the comic series but also host a fun map-making activity based on the truly epic world of Tanaraya!

This programme is recommended for children aged 8 to 12.
