According to Editions Fei, La Balade de Yaya has sold more than 40,000 copies since its debut last year. The series' first volume, "La Fugue," debuted in January 2011, and introduced readers to the exuberant daughter of a wealthy Chinese merchant. War is on the horizon, however, and through the second ("La Prisonniere," July 2011) and third ("Le Cirque," December 2011) volumes, Yaya comes to rely on Tuduo, a ragamuffin whose courage in the face of adversity is well appreciated. The little girl's fondness for the finer things in life are suddenly confronted by the grim reality that her country is being slowly torn apart.
