As the leaves turn and the air gets crisp, it’s the perfect time to cosy up with a good book! Autumn is full of wonder, change and colour; just like the stories we love to share with tamariki this season.

From tales of falling leaves to stories about seasonal change, our autumn bookshelf is all about sparking curiosity, building connection with nature and enjoying the magic of storytelling.

These stories are perfect for reading together on cooler days, inspiring conversation, imagination and calm moments.
