USA - English

• Latin America - español

MADRID, Jan. 24, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- When the picture book list of publisher Cuento de Luz debuted in Spain in April 2010, it found an immediate audience.   Cuento de Luz has over 50,000 fans on their Spanish Facebook page.  Illustrator Monica Carretero was a winner of the 2010 Illustrators Competition at the London Book Fair and Carretero has also been interviewed twice on Spanish television: Television Espanola and CyL TV. The United States editions launch in April 2011.

Ana A. de Eulate, Founder and Editor of Cuento de Luz, commented on their entry into the U.S.:

The U.S. is the world's largest market for children books, and it is natural for us with global reach to be present there. We believe that the important messages that are conveyed to children in our books will find a receptive audience in the U.S. as they are universal messages that work for all cultures independent of religion, race and background.  Moreover, the U.S. has an important and growing Hispanic population.  We therefore want to treat the U.S. as an essential home market, not as an ad-hoc export destination. For this purpose we not only sell original Spanish titles, but will also translate successful American titles into Spanish.

The following titles will be available in both Spanish and English:

• Manual de hadas($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Monica Carretero
• Circo de pulgas($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Monica Carretero
• Manual de piratas($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Monica Carretero
• La familia Bola($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Monica Carretero
• Cuerpo de nube($14.95, Ages 7-9) by Ana A. de Eulate, illus. by Monica Carretero
• Los latidos de Yago($15.95, Ages 7-9) by Conchita Miranda, illus. by Monica Carretero

Plus, the following titles available in Spanish:

• La Gallina Cocorina ($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Mar Pavon, illus. by Monica Carretero
• Mi nombre es HOY ($14.95, Ages 5-7) by Zo Ho-Sang, illus. by Kim Dong-Sung
