“Les Éditions du Croche-Patte”, founded in 2023 in Lausanne (Switzerland), produces illustrated children's books for readers of all ages. As a small independent publishing house, it aims to “gently challenge preconceived notions” through fiction that offers diverse and complex narratives. Firmly believing in the power of stories, "Éditions du Croche-Patte" crafts its books as spaces for evasion, imagination and daydreaming, while also offering tools for questioning and reflection that encourage the development of young readers' critical thinking.

"Éditions du Croche-Patte" is also committed to ethical and responsible practices, both on a human level (fair remuneration for authors, illustrators, and translators, actively promoting its books, and supporting independent bookstores, etc.) and on an ecological level by printing in Europe and carefully controlling print runs to avoid paper waste.
