The castle of Chuchurumbel

A little greedy mouse. A missing glass of milk. And a castle full of secrets.

El castillo de Chuchurumbel is a cumulative tale that comes from the oral tradition of Mexico that captivates from the first page and doesn't let go until the last. Follow the thread, add characters, and discover who drank the glass of milk. The final surprise makes it the story they always want to repeat.

A memory game disguised as a story

Its cumulative structure and contagious rhythm make children anticipate, complete, and repeat without realizing it. Each reading is a new opportunity to remember more, go further, and be more surprised.

Unique handmade illustrations with natural materials

Rocío Bellot is a paper artisan.

A familiar, warm aesthetic full of textures that invites you to look slowly and remember each scene.
