Children’s books inspired by the Australian landscape.
At Wet Season Books, our vision is to create children’s stories that celebrate the Australian environment and its unique ecology.
Australia - a treasure-trove of biodiversity
As Australians, we are the custodians of a vital portion of the world’s biodiversity. Almost ninety percent of our mammals and over ninety percent of our reptiles, frogs and flowering plants are endemic to the Australian continent. This means that they are found nowhere else on earth!
This staggering biodiversity is supported by varied habitats: flower-filled heath, grasslands, wetlands, giant kelp forests, coral reefs, rainforest and delicate desert ecosystems.
Environmental Literacy
We protect and treasure what we are familiar with and what we know and understand.
Knowing your local animals: what’s common in your area, what’s threatened and sadly what has recently disappeared is an important component of environmental literacy.
Storytelling cultivates connections with the natural world.
Wet Season Books believes that children should grow up connected to their landscape, with an understanding of how Australian environments change across seasons, cycles of fire, long dry periods and monsoon. We want to grow curious, inspired and passionate children that are driven to discover Australia’s flora and fauna and fight to protect them.
