Kazmalia is a new publishing house whose mission is to promote reading for our young minds.

Increasing your reading skills doesn’t only mean taking pleasure in reading; it is also the joy of having someone read you stories, and in turn reading out loud to yourself. Taking the time to read, that is where an increasing thirst to read will come from. It represents an opportunity for our children to develop better reading comprehension. It’s by talking to them, throughout an entire book that we are going to start them deciphering the book and foster a good understanding of the stories.

Having said that, we also have very real concern for language: we have written the texts to be read out loud. We had a lot of fun with sounds, rhymes and words. Try it out loud, you'll see.

Kazmalia will bring to life a variety of subjects and comical stories.
Our first collection, Emma and Marcov, is aimed at children between 3 and 8 years old.

More and more, our society is based on the use of information and knowledge. That is why we have to try to help children become better readers. We have to show them beautifully detailed books that contribute good values and interesting ideas with a touch of humour.

Knowing how to read is a useful skill for life.
