Picture books, fairy tales, and visual storytelling, for the kind of child who reads the same book four hundred times, and the grown-up who reads it with them.
小粒出版,Carter & Co. 旗下专注于绘本与儿童文学的精品品牌。 每个故事都从一粒微小却充满能量的"粒子"开始。
A parent does not read The Tiger Who Came to Tea twice; a parent reads it four hundred times. We try, in everything we make, to remember that.
Not as a marketing add-on. Some of our books are written in two languages from the start, because the story is the two languages meeting.
Every book has a working illustrator whose name appears on the cover and who shares the royalty. No exceptions.
Heavyweight stock, reinforced bindings, ink that does not run when chewed on. A book is an object before it is a text.
Small stories, small misunderstandings, small kindnesses. The name Particle is a promise about scale.
A bilingual picture book about a noodle, a kitten, and the kindness of language.
"How can this be miàntiáo, too?" A small bowl of spaghetti starts the conversation, and a father patient enough to answer it carries the rest.Open the book →
The illustrators already drawing for Little Particle Press, pinned up beside the promising young illustrators and seasoned hands we're getting to know. Some have a book or a project in the world; some are just sharpening their pencils. We commission every one by name.
Last November we carried Little Particle Press, and the rest of the house, to one small table at the Twin Cities Book Festival, and spent the day reading aloud, handing out stickers, and meeting the youngest readers face to face.
Every Particle title comes with a short note from the editor on the kind of reader it was made for: the age, the mood, the questions it tends to start. Read carefully so that the child you know lands on the book they have been waiting for.
