Patricia del Río and Patricia Villanueva in conversation with Augusto Carrasco

Literature for girls and boys, ¿A mini-Boom in Peru?

Arequipa 2024, Friday 8 November 2024

We are witnessing that, recently, lots of very interesting children's literature books are being published by authors who previously only explored adult narratives... Is publishing for children profitable? How do we approach the editing of children's literature, and who is involved? What can we observe in other countries with important children's book markets? How are informative or educational books for children created? With Patricia del Río, linguist and journalist, author of Desde la Luna, her first work for children; and Patricia Villanueva, visual artist, curator and educator; co-author of Grandes culturas milenarias, a history of the cultures that came before the Inca Empire. In conversation with Augusto Carrasco, designer, editor, and curator of the children’s project Héroes y heroínas de la peruanidad. 200 historias para celebrar el bicentenario.
