Books Crafted Almost by Hand
We are a small, independent, and restless publishing house dedicated to the almost artisanal creation of illustrated children’s picture books. Our catalog is petit but carefully curated. Each publishing project we take on becomes a new challenge—an opportunity to learn about our craft and to question the very concept of the picture book. We see it as a dynamic cultural artifact where every element contributes to an unrepeatable experience for each reader.
We strive to create books that move, challenge, delight, and inspire—visually and emotionally—assuming that our readers have no age limit.
Yekibud
Our name comes from the phrase «Yekibud Yekinabud» (literally: «There was one, and there was none»), the traditional opening of Persian folktales, equivalent to «Once upon a time»—a gateway into the world of fantasy, that lush forest where anything is possible.
Storytelling
We are drawn to oral storytelling because it has always shaped culture and made sense of the world. That’s why we rescue, in book form, stories that were born to be told aloud.
Slow books
We take great care in every detail of our books, which is why each project takes about a year to complete. We work meticulously and respectfully with every person involved—authors, illustrators, translators, editors, printers, and more—to ensure that each book is crafted with precision and passion.
