The celebration for the 2020 BOP – Bologna Prize for the Best Children’s Publishers of the Year are 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 Camelozampa, winner for EUROPE!
Camelozampa is an independent children’s books publisher, founded in Italy in 2011. Camelozampa’s aim is to publish fresh and inspiring picture books and novels that help young readers in pursuing happiness, understanding diversities, becoming aware of themselves.
One of Camelozampa’s strong points is the rediscovery of international masterpieces that never appeared on the Italian market or that have not been available for long time. Alongside these rediscoveries the company carries out a creative production work, thanks to Italian and international authors and illustrators who share the fascinating and unpredictable path which leads to the birth of a children’s book.
We think independent publishers have the task to cultivate bibliodiversity, in order to get narrations to their readers, through images and words that can amaze, excite, reflect, offer unexpected glimpses and open windows on far-off or nearby different worlds.
