Isadora Moon Books Optioned for TV

Kelebek Media has optioned the rights to the successful book series Isadora Moon, created by Harriet Muncaster.

Kelebek secured all rights (excluding classic publishing) to the Isadora Moon books and is developing them as a 52×11-minute 2D animated series. With over 1.2 million copies of Isadora Moon books sold worldwide in 30 different languages, the character has a large following among children aged 5 to 9.

The eponymous central character, Isadora Moon, is half-vampire, half-fairy. Fairies, vampires, witches and wizards make up Isadora’s diverse extended family with regular appearances from Isadora’s magical as well as her human friends.

Deborah Thorpe, founder of Kelebek, said: “I fell for Isadora Moon the minute I saw her. The books are beautifully and distinctively illustrated and the stories are full of charm, heart and humor. I am thrilled that Harriet has entrusted us with making these gorgeous books, so loved by their audience, into an animated series. Isadora’s unique and magical cultural heritage makes her universally relatable so anyone anywhere in the world can see themselves reflected in her. I think that’s part of her significant global appeal with our target audience.”

Author and illustrator Harriet Muncaster added: “I’m so excited that Isadora is being brought to life in animated form! I absolutely love everything that the wonderfully talented team at Kelebek has done so far and I know they will make Isadora sparkle on the screen.”
