A Buen Paso house description

At A Buen Paso we care about the text, we care about the story it tells and how it tells it, we care about the literature, and the uselessness that seems to characterize many good things. We also care (how couldn’t we?) about the illustrations, which have to be electric, brave, and surprising. But above all, we want text and images to walk hand in hand, and to act like one being.

We hope that A Buen Paso will lead the reader to a better world, full of wonderful pages, unbelievable creatures, and open-minded readers. We’re still small, and publish 5 to 6 titles a year for 4 to 10 year olds.
