Meet Timbiu. The lion who walks beside you.
Discover a growing world of children's stories, coloring books and creative play. Little adventures that spark curiosity, inspire kindness and encourage conversations about what matters.
TIMBIU™ · Little adventures. Big conversations.
Timbiu is a gentle companion for everyday discoveries and new experiences. Through stories, coloring and creative play, he encourages children to explore the world, ask questions and share what they think and feel.
For children and grown-ups
Timbiu reminds us that courage does not always mean doing something big. Sometimes it means asking a question, trying something new or treating someone with respect and kindness. His adventures create opportunities to discover, listen and talk together.
For children
Timbiu invites children to discover new places, colors and ideas. He encourages them to explore the world at their own pace, ask questions and try new things — without pressure to be perfect.
For grown-ups
Timbiu's stories and activities give parents, caregivers and teachers a natural starting point for creative play and conversations about feelings, relationships and children's everyday experiences.
Courage. Empathy. Wisdom. Belonging.
These values guide Timbiu's adventures. They are not lessons to memorize, but values reflected in the characters' choices, relationships and everyday situations.
Four shared values
A world that is still growing.
What began with a blank page, a pencil and a box of paints is growing into a world: stories you can read and hear, pages you can color, and a companion by your side. Walk together.

“A meaningful conversation can begin with a simple question: How did that feel?”

MADE WITH CARE
Mia Okay is the educator and designer behind Timbiu. She brings more than 20 years of experience in education, working with children and alongside their parents, caregivers and teachers, and she has worked in many countries on education and aid assignments. She started Timbiu with one belief: screen-free time can become learning through creative play. Every book is made to feel gentle, clear and kind, with a friendly lion at every child's side.
We want Timbiu's stories to encourage kindness, curiosity about other cultures and respect for diversity.
We do not impose one way of thinking or a single answer to every question. Instead, we invite children and grown-ups to be curious, listen and explore together.
We are still learning and developing our materials. That is why we value feedback from parents, teachers and caregivers, helping us create an increasingly accessible world of Timbiu.
Open to every heart.
Different children. Different ways to explore.
Room for different needs
Created with care and respect
Timbiu is being built on a simple belief: a good world is one where everyone can take part.
Every child discovers the world differently. Timbiu is being created with children of different interests, abilities and ways of learning in mind.
We aim to use clear language, thoughtful illustrations and activities that can be adapted to each child's individual pace and needs.
We are at the beginning of this road. We will share what we learn.
Timbiu draws on values shared across cultures. He belongs to no single belief, and he welcomes everyone.
Questions, answered.
Everything parents, caregivers, educators and curious minds may want to know about Timbiu™.
What is Timbiu™?
Timbiu is a friendly lion at the heart of a growing world of children's stories, coloring books and creative play. Through little adventures, he inspires curiosity, kindness and imagination, bringing children and grown-ups together to discover, create and share meaningful moments.
What makes Timbiu stories different?
Timbiu stories combine imagination, nature, discovery and everyday experiences. Through the characters' adventures, children explore feelings, friendships, new places and different perspectives. Rather than teaching a lesson to memorize, each story invites curiosity, empathy and meaningful conversations.
What ages are Timbiu books and activities designed for?
Most Timbiu books and coloring activities are designed for children ages 4–8. However, every child develops at their own pace. Interests, abilities and comfort with different activities matter more than age alone. Other Timbiu products may have different age recommendations.
How can Timbiu stories inspire meaningful conversations?
Stories offer a natural way to talk about feelings, friendship, kindness, change and unfamiliar situations. A simple question like "How do you think Timbiu felt?" can open a conversation. There are no perfect answers — listening, sharing and exploring different perspectives together are what matter.
What can children discover beyond Timbiu stories?
The world of Timbiu extends beyond reading. Coloring books, audio adventures, puzzles, bookmarks, calendars and other creative products offer different ways to explore familiar characters, discover new places and enjoy imaginative activities. Every product brings another opportunity to connect with the world of Timbiu.
