Our most favorite Polish publishing house. It was thanks to him that the worlds appreciated in the world and outstanding works of Polish artists for years have appeared on the shelves of Polish bookstores.
The publishing house was founded by three friends - translator Jadwiga Jędryas, philologist Joanna Ryska and graphic designer Ewa Stiasny. At that time they were young mothers who on the one hand were looking for books for their own children, and on the other they saw deficiencies on the domestic publishing market. The education and awareness of what books seems to be abroad caused the desire to change, introduce expressive titles to Polish bookstores that look good and carry an important message. The idea was hit - the publishing house was appreciated by children and parents, and over time also the prestigious children's book fair in Bologna.
At the very beginning, the idea of Jadwiga Jędryas appeared to publish the book of the Dutchman Toon Telegen in Polish. She told her friend about it, and this (Joanna Rórska) associated that the mother of one of the pupils in her kindergarten is a graphic designer. This is how friendship was established, which fruit was not only a collection of stories "not everyone could fall over", but also the publisher of two sisters. They borrowed the name of the friend from the guest house, in which they first met the Three.
As the founder emphasizes, the publishing house was not created as an idea for boredom of young mothers, but was born of idealism and faith that something could be changed. They collected funds, began to travel and brought contacts, acquaintances with foreign publishers and energy to act from subsequent fairs. They reached for titles triumphing abroad, but also for iconic books that they remembered from their own childhood. Forgotten books gave a new life creating a series of "Masters of the Illustration", in which the works of the best Polish graphic designers and cartoonists of the 20th century appeared, including Jan Marcin Szancer or Jerzy Flisak or Bohdan Butenko.
Two sisters reached and still reach for tradition, but not only. They have a nose for great books. The publishing houses have already appeared the iconic "maps" of Aleksandra and Daniel Mizieliński, which sold in several million copies around the world.
As the founders of the publishing house declare - thanks to the books they manage to educate the young generation in a casually. Books of two sisters with architecture, mathematics, botany or design say so that small readers do not feel that they are learning.
From the very beginning, two sisters focused on quality. They published and published ambitious books, attach importance to valuable content and expressive illustrations. The consistency and stubbornness in introducing children's qualitative titles to the market was appreciated. Parents quickly loved books, delighted that it can be different, better, more beautiful. After some time, it was time for international successes. In 2018 in Bologna, during the largest children's book fair in the world, Bologna Children’s Book Fair, the two sisters publishing house was announced the best European publisher of the Children's Year!
We love the books of this publishing and unconditionally trust their choices. Two sisters - it's good that you are!
