Liialaa is a playful, fictional children's story world telling about a curious little girl called Liialaa who lives in a colourful garden with her friends. The stories tell about wonders of growing up, garden events, curiosity and discovery of new things.
Liialaa's stories were realized as a concept and demo project, and they are well-suited for both digital and print formats.
Liialaa's Story originated on my sketchpad first as small accordion-style picture books, which I then developed into a multimedia and interactive experience game. I asked my friend Katja, a professional composer, if she would be interested in creating a theme song and a couple of tracks for Liialaa. From there, Liialaa's Story started evolving into a more musical direction, and we were fortunate to receive several prestigious grant recognitions to support the development of the concept phases.
Liialaa's World is designed for small preschool-aged children.
Team: Sanna Laakkonen (producer, author and illustrator, concept design of Liialaa's playful story worlds, books and apps) & Katja Kangas (music, lyrics).
Funding: The Promotion Centre for Audiovisual Culture & Finnish Cultural Foundation.
