The celebration for the 2020 BOP – Bologna Prize for the Best Children’s Publishers of the Year is a key part of the BCBF Online Special Edition. The BOP Prize is awarded each year to showcase editorial projects, professional skills and intellectual qualities of work from publishing houses all over the world. Let’s meet Amanuta, nominee for CENTRAL/SOUTH AMERICA!
Children’s book publisher Amanuta has over eighteen years’ experience creating books for young people. The entertaining stories and contemporary illustrations of its illustrated books enchant both adults and children. The firm seeks to bring together traditional and modern approaches to children’s literature, celebrating both cultural heritage and new ways of looking at the world.
Amanuta aims to encourage a collective dynamic between writer, illustrator, designer and editor with the goal of crafting innovative and creative books that will delight and surprise loyal readers.
From Chile, at the southernmost tip of the American continent, Amanuta books have crossed borders and travelled to different parts of the globe, carrying with them the identifying signs, symbols and images of its heritage.
Amanuta’s catalogue includes new authors and illustrators as well as established names, from both Chile and elsewhere. However, an unchanging feature characterizing this publishing house is its spirit of innovation.
