Fifteen years ago when I started working in publishing for Walker Books in London, the publishing world was primarily focused on the UK and the US picture book markets. Whilst it is still largely the case today, the industry is slowly changing and accepting more non-English publishers who promote their local authors and illustrators and sell rights successfully.
Being born and raised in France, I have followed closely the rise of French children's books internationally with artists such as Hervé Tullet at the forefront. I only have one word-Chapeau! We also saw recently the success of Mapy by Aleksandra and Daniel Mizielińscy from Poland and other high-quality picture books are emerging from all parts of the world.
