About

Big Agua Press

The Story Behind Our Name

“Big Agua” was what my son called the ocean when he was two. It was his way of describing something huge and full of possibility, and it captured exactly how I see storytelling.

At Big Agua Press, that sense of wonder sits at the heart of everything we do. Our mission is to create books that spark imagination and help kids fall in love with reading for life.
