Book on a Tree is a storytelling agency that creates and sells children’s and YA books to leading publishers around the world.
The agency was founded in 2014 by Pierdomenico Baccalario, one of the world’s most celebrated childrens’ authors whose bestsellers have been translated into over 20 languages. What began as a tiny seed has now grown, slowly but surely, not just in terms of numbers, but also of experience and knowhow.
After four years, Book on a Tree now represents around 30 authors and 50 illustrators. It has 6 partners, 9 employees, 5 international agents and over 100 collaborators.
Every story has an author. But the author is never on his own. This is the philosophy we believe in, which is why our creative process is based on collaborative circles that bring together diverse talents and offer each member the abilities of all, breathing life into unique projects we manage and curate with boundless passion.
We work with the following publishers, among many others: in Italy, Disney Italy, Salani, Mondadori, il Castoro and Einaudi Ragazzi; In Spain, Grupo Planeta and La Galera. In France, Flammarion and Ecoile de Losiris. In the US, Disney Publishing Worldwide.
