About Us
Publishing with purpose
Little Book Press is the award-winning publishing house of Raising Literacy Australia, a not-for-profit organisation dedicated to bringing the life-changing magic of picture books into Australian homes.
Every purchase from Little Book Press directly supports Raising Literacy Australia’s early language and literacy programs, helping families come together to talk, play, read and sing from birth.
Working with Australian writers, illustrators and educators, we create high-quality children's books that ignite imaginations, foster connections and cultivate confident, curious little learners.
Our engaging stories
Thoughtfully crafted and brought to life with vibrant illustrations, our stories are grounded in local culture and designed to reflect the everyday lives of Australian families. They offer children a safe and inspiring way to explore, imagine and grow, while helping them see themselves, their families and their communities in the stories they read.

Inclusion and representation
As part of our commitment to inclusion and representation, we work closely with Raising Literacy Australia’s Aboriginal Leadership Group to centre the voices, knowledge and creative authority of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples in our publishing direction, ensuring their stories are celebrated and shared with young readers.
