Information

Young kids whose parents read aloud to them are better prepared for school by the time they start, with more advanced skills in language and literacy. And bedtime stories for kids are a great way to instill a love of reading for life. The beautiful illustrations on the kids’ books spark their imagination and curiosity, while the stories themselves encourage kids to ask questions and interact with their parents. This improves their social skills and understanding of world. Most importantly, you’ll be spending quality time when you read bedtime stories to your kids. Written by Australian authors, the lively, sometimes tender, sometimes funny, but always inventive books for kids published by Windy Hollow Books will be stories your kids can relate to.

Windy Hollow Books is an independent publisher of children's books based in Melbourne. Our aim is to publish high quality, literary books for children so that they can have wonderful reading experiences.
