Claudia Bielinsky

I was born in Argentina and grew up in Buenos Aires, where I studied Fine Arts. For a long time visual arts have been my daily life.

 In 1987 I moved to Paris, where I currently live.

From the birth of my son I decided to change my job and to embark on the mysterious path of the children’s book, something I had always wanted and never dared!

And now, about fifty books later, fortunately I still have some ideas…

International editions

Many of my books have been edited and translated into several languages ​​by different publishers:

Brazilian (Companiha das Lettra), German (Lanoo), Korean (Kinderland, Froebel, Kookmin y Kyo Hak Sa), Chinese (Pekin Gai, 21st Century, Tree of cotton), Italian (Singe Libri), Spanish, Catalan, Basque (Alfaguara, Santillana, Edelvives and La Galera), Japanese (Hikumano) and also Swedish.

Meetings

I do meetings in schools, kindergartens, libraries, and also do workshops in fairs.

Together we can discuss and understand how to make a book, ask what ilustration is, how to imagine, to think, to draw and to invent stories, always with a lot of humor and passion. Approach the children to the book in another way. I also offer workshops for the creation and manufacture of books by and for children since kindergarten.
