Founded in 2000, Lapis Edizioni is an independent children’s publishing house based in Rome. For over twenty-five years, we have published books that speak to children with authenticity, depth, and respect, created by authors and illustrators who meet young readers at eye level.
We believe in books as milestones in a child’s growth—stories that give voice to their thoughts, dreams, doubts, and desires, and serve as mirrors and tools of discovery, capable of raising questions, opening new perspectives, and encouraging curiosity about the world.
Our catalogue is a carefully curated landscape for readers aged 0 to 13. We specialize in high-quality picture books and board books alongside early readers and middle-grade fiction spanning adventure, history, and coming-of-age stories.
A significant cornerstone of our identity is poetry, which we explore in its many forms and rhythms. Our non-fiction books are equally distinctive, blending rigorous narrative with a focus on ethics, ethology, ancient civilizations, and art.
We also take pride in providing practical tools for teachers and parents to use at home or in the classroom. Across most of our titles, a signature touch of humor is never missing—we believe that even the most profound stories benefit from a sense of wit and a lighthearted perspective on the world!
