ARI LITERARY AGENCY is expanding its list now also with children’s illustrated books! 

We are now representing children books author and illustrator Lilit Altunyan. This is another important collaboration which Vernatun and Zangak publishing houses, which are Altunayn’s publishers in Armenia. We are going to join efforts to provide global visibility of her three picture books – THE KING OF DARKNESS, THE MUSICIAN MONSTER and THE BLUE FOX.

Lilit Altunyan is a multiple award winning illustrator, animation film director and producer. She is an author-illustrator of 3 published picture books. She is included in the IBBY honor list of 2020.

Her Armenian-French co-produced short animation film When I am sad, 2021, has traveled through more than 55 reputable festivals around the world.

Lilit’s stories have messages to be uncovered not only for children but also for adults, as their multilayer depth unfolds gradually. They reveal universal truths speaking about identity, self-discovery, purpose and dreams, belonging and emotions.
