First Nations Childrens Books
Across our collection, these First Nations children’s books are created to support children, families and communities through life’s big feelings and experiences with warmth, honesty and cultural safety. Grounded in Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander ways of knowing, being and doing, each story centres connection to Country, family, community and culture as sources of strength, identity and healing.

Through gentle storytelling and engaging illustrations, children are supported to feel seen, understood and connected.
Our books are developed to help children navigate experiences such as grief, loss, identity, belonging, emotions, wellbeing and resilience in ways that are developmentally appropriate and trauma-informed. Each story is shaped by lived experience, cultural knowledge and professional expertise, drawing on consultation with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander health professionals, psychologists, educators, children and communities. This collaborative approach helps ensure the stories are culturally responsive, emotionally safe and meaningful for children and the adults who care for them.
Designed for families, carers, schools, health services and community organisations, these books create opportunities for conversation, reflection and connection. Whether shared at home, in classrooms or within therapeutic and wellbeing settings, the collection aims to support children to build emotional understanding, strengthen cultural connection and feel supported through the relationships and communities around them.
