In January 2019, Amazon Publishing announced the launch of Amazon Crossing Kids, a new imprint for children’s books in translation. Building on the work of our Amazon Crossing imprint, the largest publisher of translated fiction in the United States, and our Two Lions imprint, a leading children’s book publisher, Amazon Crossing Kids aims to increase the diversity of children’s books in translation and encourage young reading from a range of cultural perspectives.
In a company statement: “Building on the work of Amazon Crossing, the largest publisher of translated fiction in the United States, and Amazon Publishing’s Two Lions imprint, a leading children’s book publisher, Amazon Crossing Kids aims to increase the diversity of children’s picture books in translation and encourage young reading from a range of cultural perspectives.”
“We’re delighted to blend the missions of Amazon Crossing and Two Lions by introducing terrific books from around the globe to readers who are beginning to develop their worldview. Whether a title has a universal theme with regionally-influenced artistry or focuses on an aspect of local culture, our list will encompass a broad range of perspectives, styles, and characters that celebrate what makes us unique as well as what we have in common,” said Mikyla Bruder, Publisher of Amazon Publishing.
Amazon Crossing is also accepting submissions.
