About me

My name is Billyana. I grew up in a family of actors. My kindergarten was the stage, the costume department and the wig studio where my parents and their colleagues transformed into knights, princesses, magicians and pirates. Later, my own acting career and the drama texts inspired me to go further and further.

Thus I entered the world of the creative documentary, films and TV formats, which are part of my life since 2002 when I started my production company. The last ten years I spent travelling around the world, meeting unknown cultures, ethnic groups, wild life and amazing nature, producing and hosting 500 TV episodes for numerous destinations around the world. My trips to the jungle, the savanna and the enkangs of tribes made me think of stories that I could tell my little son when I get back home. My child was enchanted by the stories about shamans, warriors and maharajas.

And so, the Harisha book series came to life.

BRIEF DEVELOPMENT OF THE STORIES
Every story happens in a different place on the planet. In the first story we discover how the child got his name – Harisha.

India, Rajasthan – the locals give him this name after he manages to fight off a gang of monkeys.
In the following story, Harisha finds a little girl in the Kenyan savanna. His family adopts the girl. They call her Anaitis.
Anaitis possesses extraordinary powers and can guide the forces of nature.
Harisha has the ability to understand animal language.
Together, the two children are able to handle difficult situations, and they gradually discover their ability of being telepathic. In every given moment, they help people and animals, their life is a conscious mission to save the planet and its inhabitants.
Curious and exceptionally inquisitive, Harisha learns a new lesson from everyone he meets – man or beast. Reading wild animal tracks or discovering water – Harisha always has questions. He is persistent and always finds solutions and answers.
People genuinely like him. He is a very well-behaved and sensitive child. His intuition is highly developed, as well as his sense of justice. He himself becomes a young teacher to everyone he meets.
Harisha does not seek adventures. They just happen to him thanks to his curiosity and dedication to righteous causes. His world is full of exciting happenings.
Every story is a tale of specific virtues.
