Resumen:
Sumario:The aim of this interview is to investigate the changes around children' s books in the 1990s in Uruguay: a way of conceiving the book from an ethical and aesthetic point of view, the way of telling stories, their subjects, the importance of illustrations, the increase of sales and the new place of children's literature in the Uruguayan culture. Likewise, this paper seeks to bring together the voices of many protagonists of that change, that set up the current model of children's books. In this sense, not only transformations are tackled, but also the different battles that took place to refound several conventions and formalities, in a country that was leaving many years of dictatorship behind.
