Xosé Ballesteros is the recipient of the National Award for the best cultural editorial work 2022. «Sometimes I have the, not very humble feeling, that editors are alchemists, a kind of magician».

Coinciding with International Children and Young Adult Book Day, the Kalandraka publishing house began to take its first steps back in 1998. Illustrated albums of their own creation, adaptations of traditional stories, recovery of LIJ classics, books for pre-readers, easy-reading books, books accompanied with records, poetry and art, are the main lines of work that make up the catalog of this label that began its journey publishing in the Galician language. Over the years it has become a multilingual project that publishes in Spanish, Galician, Catalan, Basque, Portuguese, Italian and English.

This publishing house, which has a literary commitment to the little ones, will also be in Frankfurt 2022 and at Publishnews we have stolen a few minutes from the editor, Xosé Ballesteros, to find out a little more.
