The Sunflower Gallery received its name from the children book collection Sunflower (Sončnica) which the Mladinska knjiga Publishing House publishes for years. It operates under the logo of the happy sun created by the popular Slovene illustrator of children books Lilijana Praprotnik Zupančič alias Lila Prap.
