Ta-da! We're absolutely delighted to share this stunning window design. 💖

We had a very special visit from Erica Harrison and Adam Thompson from Messy Press today to celebrate NZ Bookshop Day! 🎉

With over 20 years of experience designing and illustrating for children’s publishing, Erica has brought countless stories to life, creating bestselling titles for some of the world’s leading children’s publishers.

Inspired by The 123 Book, the gorgeous new read-aloud bedtime story by Messy Press, this beautiful hand-painted window is as charming as their amazing books. We couldn’t be happier with how it turned out!

Come check it out and browse their amazing titles if you haven't already.

Award winning comic artist Jem Yoshioka popped in yesterday for a chat and signed copies of Folk Remedy – the first in a graphic novel series inspired by Japanese folklore and mythology. It was also a finalist at this year's NZ Book Awards for Children & Young Adults.

Book two: The Secret of the Night Parade, comes out in November and we cannot wait to jump back into the rich and beautifully illustrated world of the yokai! 🎉

We had a surprise visit from Greg MacLeod last week, author of Grumble's Bridge, illustrated by Herb MacDonald 🌟 We still have a couple of signed copies left.

Here's a gushing review from Roger 😁

"What is a tired troll to do? Herb MacLeod delivers a hilarious, playful take on Three Billy Goats Gruff. This is a fun read aloud picture book for parents, as they’ll have much to sympathise with the misunderstood Grumble, who becomes increasingly frustrated when his attempts to get a good rest are thwarted time and again. Herb MacDonald does a superb job with the illustrations and captures all the nasty and unsavoury qualities that we associate from Norse folklore. Bold splashes of colour and close ups of the troll’s menacing toothy roars and twitching hairy ears bring a lightness and humour that will appeal to young readers. This is a nicely subtle lesson about the outcomes of craving something so badly." - Roger

How To Survive on a Desert Island by Lorenzo Coltellacci & Alice Ourghanlian

"How do you survive on a desert island? With stacks of great books, of course. This gorgeously illustrated picture book is a heartfelt love letter to books and bibliophiles everywhere. Each page cleverly transforms books into everything you could possibly need to not only thrive on, but also escape from a desert island. From pitching a tent made of books to setting off on paper sails, it celebrates the limitless possibilities of the imagination. Endless adventures await with the simple turn of a page. The illustrations are so stunning, I still can't decide on a favourite."

"Just in time for Te Wiki o Reo Māori next week. Hīkoi is an inspiring Māori alphabet book for little (and not-so-little) activists. Its Te Reo Māori edition, Toitū, is also here to remind us of the power of hapori!"
- Roger 🌟

Our dynamic sibling duo, Jack & Maggie, proudly repping Dazzlehands on their mum’s behalf. Luckily, Penny never has to choose a favorite child. But when it comes to read-aloud picture books, she definitely has a strong preference. And it's one of our faves too!

If you're a fan of Dazzlehands, you should also check out A Guide to Rocks, which won the top prize at the 2026 New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, and He Taonga te Toka, which won Best Translated Book.

And let's not forget last year's winner, The Bomb! Many congrats Sacha Cotter and Joshua Morgan 🎉
