Our Mission
We believe everyone should be free to tell their story with confidence. For over 25 years, we have been transforming literacy and educational outcomes across Australia, creating systemic, sustainable and community-led change.
Whether it is through books for kids, championing strong literacy in prior-to-school years, supporting refugees, or helping First Nations peoples keep their languages and cultures alive, we are driven to inspire literacy and learning every day.
