Schools and child care

As Canberra's specialist children's bookshop, our aim is to find books that other shops or distributors overlook or cannot find.   


We have a big focus on diverse children's literature, local authors and creators, non-fiction, environmental issues and Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander stories and authors. 


We love to help local schools, preschools, child care centres and play groups find great books for kids to enjoy. 


And need a locally based book fair? We can help with that!!
