Italian publisher Mondadori – through its Children’s Books Division – is to be the global publishing partner of the new children’s TV series ‘Nina & Olga.’

The first two ‘Nina & Olga’ books will arrive in the fall to coincide with the launch in Italy by broadcaster Rai Yoyo of the new animated series. The target audience for the books is children all over the world aged 3 to 6.

Mondadori will launch the first two titles, Nina & Olga: You are a Special Friend Nina & Olga: Discovering Letters and Numbers just before the TV series appears on screens. Four more titles are planned, all based on episodes from the animated series: The Best Gift Ever, Little Mysteries of the Night, Fun at the Farm and The Chase Away Spot.
