Czech publishing house Baobab Books was set up in 2000 to provide alternative illustrated books for children. From what I can gather, Baobab works closely with upcoming Czech artists, publishing original works such as Kouzélna Baterka (The Magic Torch) by Olga Cerna and Michaela Kukovica, occasionally translated into English.
