Etana means snail in Finnish. Jenni Erkintalo and Reka Kiraly founded Etana Editions in 2014. They are the antennas of Etana / snail, that receives children’s wishes and needs. The antennas are helped by a set of wonderful storytellers who create the shell house of stories on the back of Etana / snail.
Etana’s - the snail’s home always goes with it, and so does a child’s home too when a favourite book is under their arms. A child who can express and tell his or her story can find their place in the world.
Children and parents both want to read Etana Editions’ books again and again. Visually stunning and content wise multidimensional stories engage their readers with a common journey into the imagination. Storytelling in words and in pictures encourages children to be curious, to watch the world and to explore diversity. Shared story time opens opportunity to exchange ideas and feelings.
