Minibombo is a publisher of books for young children (2 to 6 years) and for the grown-upswho read along with them.

Minibombo makes picture books characterized by clear images and solid colours, telling stories with short text or no text at all. The books aim to create a participated reading process between adults and children and require a bit of creativity and cooperation on their part.

Minibombo also makes digitalapps based on some of its books, so that children can further explore their contents through a different medium.

Minibombo started in Reggio Emilia, Italy, in 2013. Since its beginnings, it has been highly appreciated both by readers and operators in the sector and has been awarded several prizes which have helped make its books known among a wide public, not just in Italy but also across Europe and overseas.

I’ve got them all!

A Wave Is Coming…A dad and his little son are spending the afternoon on the beach, but an irreverent wave scatters their things around, and that can be kind of a mess! Shells and seaweed take the place of their own shirts, shoes and sunglasses, and the two of them are changed into funny figures. But when it’s time to go home, will all things get back to where they belong?

Minibombo loves to explore different types of communication. This is why some of its books have become the starting point for creating digital applications. The apps refer to the

original stories you find in the books, and develop them further by exploiting a different code, so that they can be enjoyed either as a complement ofthe book or on their own.
