Multicultural and tirelessly curious, Galia Tapiero lives and works in Paris.Passionate about visual arts, literature, and education as far back as she can remember, publishing illustrated books has been the best way to bring those fields together. Traveling and living in several countries showed her the importance of experiencing cultural otherness, and helped her understand who and what surround us. After years of research and teaching anthropology and museology, Galia moved naturally towards publishing and launched her own company. As a window to the world, she is convinced that books have a major role in educating children in a spirit of mutual comprehension and respect to the others. Publishing books is the best way for her to empower children and invite young readers to broaden their horizons.
