History

Agam Books was established in 2007 by Israel Mizrahi and Lior Sharf. Israel Mizrahi is the son of Meir Mizrahi, founder of the publishing house M. Mizrahi. After a dispute between the partners, Mizrahi left to manage his father's publishing house. Lior Sharf continued as CEO of Agam. The publishing house initially focused on translated literature but later expanded to include original Hebrew literature, workbooks, games, and coloring books. Agam has built a reputation for high-quality children's and young adult books, often featuring illustrations by renowned and new artists. The company actively participates in international book fairs to select titles for translation into Hebrew. As of the 2020s, Agam continues to publish a wide range of titles and sells through its website and Israeli bookstores.
