El Mismo Cielo
Written by Claudio Aguilera
Illustrated by Alexis Segovia

A poetic, symbolic book that doesn’t offer easy answers but something much rarer–a way of looking. The stories unfold like a quiet conversation between heart and memory, between what can be measured and what can only be felt. Set in the vast Atacama Desert, it invites young readers—and anyone willing to look up—to ask a simple but profound question: what do we see when we look up? For a young boy from the desert and a young girl from the city, grief finds comfort in the presence of an eternal sky that has always been there, and will remain.

“In the darkest night, we are not alone.”

Picture book published by in Spanish.

mundo azul windows

Some of our windows and our work with picture books in the past years…all curated by myself and , who captures the potential of books as social, political and aesthetical mediators and places them in our window as if they were trees, talking to each other.

It’s not easy to display positive narratives or bubbles in children’s literature through picture books in a country like Germany today, where many (not only) children’s authors and illustrators are being censored for speaking out and talking about Palestine and genocide in the German context. Still, we wanted to speak beyond social media, by bringing books that open the dialogue in schools, libraries, and public spaces. Thanks so much to all of you who support mundo azul and the narratives we share!

The Keeper of Wild Words
By Brooke Smith
Illustrated by Madeline Kloepper

Let us not forget the language that inspires mindfulness of the natural world. Words like Wren, Acorn, Dandelion, Doe, and Porcupine have been erased from the Oxford Junior Dictionary and replaced with words deemed more relevant like Analog, Database, Vandalism, and Chatroom. Based on this premise, the author weaves a story built to protect the beauty of lost wild words, inviting each of us to become a Keeper of Wild Words ourselves.

The Lost Soul (Zgubiona dusza)
By Olga Tokarczuk
Illustrated by Joanna Concejo

For anyone feeling exhausted by the incessant noise and pressures of life, this book is for you. Its pages offer a gentle landscape where one can rekindle awareness of life’s simplest, and most often overlooked, treasures to the soul. Drawn from the imagination of Nobel Prize winner Olga Tokarczuk and masterfully illustrated by , the story of a soul’s return to simplicity and wholeness comes alive in the mind of the reader, creating space for each person to taste the sweetness of such a journey themselves.

Clic is a collective of women in children’s publishing that aims to assure bibliodiversity in Chile, to give different voices and narratives a chance to be represented together.

I was lucky to meet some of these enthusiasts this year. It’s so encouraging to see children’s book women publishers work together. Many thanks for this engagement!

We have many titles of these 10 publishing houses from Chile in mundo azul. Next year we’ll be collaborating to give more visibility to Chilean and Latin American creators in Germany. Contact or visit us in Berlin to know more!

“Libros para ser libres

Diez editoriales chilenas de libros ilustrados para niños, niñas y jóvenes se unen para trabajar juntas por la cultura del libro impreso, el acceso a la lectura desde la primera infancia y la diversidad de enfoques o bibliodiversidad. Creemos que los libros no solo enseñan y entretienen, sino que son fundamentales para fortalecer el lenguaje, la percepción, las emociones y la conciencia que permite ser parte de la sociedad y comprender el mundo en que vivimos. CLIC es un colectivo de editoras integrado por Amanuta, Claraboya, Ediciones Liebre, Ekaré Sur, Escrito con Tiza, Grafito Ediciones, La Bonita Ediciones, Pehuén, Saposcat y Una Casa de Cartón. Sellos con diversas trayectorias y líneas editoriales, formatos y propuestas, pero unidos por la firme creencia de que la literatura es clave para el desarrollo integral de niñas y niños, y también por la conciencia de la responsabilidad que significa hacer libros infantiles, más aún en un panorama cultural saturado por las multitareas tecnológicas y la falta de profundidad que impera en las pantallas. Estas editoras suman sus energías y experiencias para llevar libros ilustrados de calidad a Chile y al mundo”.
