Illustration of the book Dos CaminosMention Fiction Category Bologna Ragazzi Award 2018

It wouldn’t be our style to distract you with the mi-nutiae of who we are, what we are and where we are going. Just as we like to find our own path, we think that you too should be free to create your own impression. We believe in letting the imagination have as much free reign as pos-sible, and usually find that this freedom takes us to more interesting and uniquely personal places than a simple trail of facts. We are pure imagination, characters in a story with so much to say. We invent universes with thousands of doors through which we can come and go at will. We inhabit a world of colorful scenes, where animals speak and objects disguise hidden stories; where the readers are the main characters and where fantasy knows no limits. Our task is to deliver the worlds created by our authors and illustrators to your homes so that you can travel through them, exploring every corner and leaving your own mark in the stories they have invented. It is our hope and aim that these journeys be pleasant, fun, daring, original and, above all, unforgettable.

Her imagination and enthusiasm convert her normal surroundings into a fantastic universe where even everyday occurrences are transformed into fabulous adventures. What she most enjoys about these Summer days however is the sharing of them with her father and brother and the evenings spent looking at the stars together through her father’s telescope, feeling that their courtyard is the very center of the entire universe. This book deals with those ephemeral moments we share with our children in their infancy, and what the center of a young child’s universe really is for them.

El hombre balaThe Human Cannonball Winner of the I International Prize “Candil Ilustrado” for illustrated picture-books. It’s not easy being a human cannonball, and Rocky knows it. But this time he has a premonition that in next Sunday’s show he will at last, after so many failed attempts, finally pull off his amazing jump successfully, including its death-defying double somersault and spectacular one-footed landing. The main character, in this endearing adventure, is a tireless anti-hero who never loses his enthusiasm and hope despite repeated failures. This chirpy and jovial character shows us how a positive attitude can be enough of an achievement in itself.

The Human Cannonball



El Romance de SinforosaThe Ballad of Sinforosa Finalist of the Cuatrogatos Foundation Prize 2017

The princess Sinforosa has been obsessed with the color pink since birth, and the only desire of her doting father, the King, is to please her. He starts off making small changes in his kingdom and ends up yielding to his daughter’s every whim, which seem to know no end. What no one expected was how all these changes would affect world (and universal) order.

This is a prodigious story about pink color and the consequences of the crazy whims of a princess. A hilarious and nonsensical adventure told in rhyming verse in the style of a medieval epic poem. A truly original book that includes fold outs. Behind them you can find a different point of view of the events.

Una historia diferenteA different kind of story The life of a rhinoceros and of a rhinoceros beetle could not be more different. On the one hand, the gigantic, massive, armoured colossus, and on the other the little, fragile, easy-to-miss insect. But in spite of all their differences and, as their similar names already suggests, the two animals have some surprising things in common. Like all creatures, they also experience proximity and distance, limitation and vastness, big and little things, solitude and companionship. The rhinoceros and rhinoceros beetle meet one another someplace at some point, and realize both their unmistakeable uniqueness and difference from each other, as well as their uniting similarities. Adolfo Serra’s quiet, reflective, breezy poem helps even young children grasp the basic questions of human and creaturely existence. The beautiful double-page illustrations, kept to a gently glowing colour palette, radiate great peace, poise, tenderness, and power.

Dos caminosTwo paths What the Jury of the Bologna Ragazzi Award said:“A sensitive tribute journeys, metaphors for life with its unforeseeable twists and bends, diversions and accelerations but especially the chance meetings along the way. Two characters travel different paths, strongly coloured lines against a light coloured background dotted with minimalist landscapes, until they meet on the same page. It is these meetings the book tells us that make life so extraordinary”.
