The Czech version of the Eye of the World “Oko do světa” (the Eye of the World in Czech) is based on a partnership with libraries and the presence of ambassadors (authors, editors, illustrators) from the 12 publishing houses. The project aims to build strong links between publishers and librarians that will enable workshops, meetings and readings to be held with schools.
From 5 to 8 September 2024 in Tábor, on the occasion of the Tabook festival, which has been organised by Baobab Publishing for many years, has highlighted the artists of the Eye of the World as well as the libraries associated with the project in the context of professional meetings, workshops, exhibitions and readings.

A small family publishing house, Baobab specializes in quality children’s books. Since its creation at the turn of the century, Baobab has been working hard to revitalize the Czech illustration tradition. This approach is reflected in collaborations with authors, writers and illustrators who share the same mindset, as well as identifying and supporting young emerging talents. Baobab thus contributes to the development of the European children’s literature scene and gives its readers access to the most remarkable illustrators of the 20th and 21st centuries.
In addition to publishing, Baobab has created and organizes many cultural events, the most important of which is the Tábook festival, which takes place every year in September and October in Tábor in the Czech Republic (tabook.cz). Baobab publishers work closely with the Miroslav Šašek Foundation, the Academy of Arts and Design in Prague (UMPUM), the Tabor Baobab gallery-boutique and the Xaoxax gallery in Prague’s famous Vršovice district.
