Walker Books Australia pays respect to the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we work, live and dream. We extend that respect to Aboriginal Elders past and present, and all First Nations people.
Walker Books acknowledges the value, diversity and integrity of Aboriginal art, culture and expression as an integral part of Australian heritage.
All children deserve to see themselves, their families, and their communities represented in the books they read. As children’s book publishers, it is our goal to ensure that the books and content we publish and create authentically and joyfully reflect the world around us. It is imperative that the publishing industry change to better serve young readers, and this change starts with us.
Across Candlewick Press, Holiday House Publishing, Peachtree Publishing, Trustbridge Entertainment, Walker Books Australia, and Walker Books UK, we have both the privilege and the responsibility of creating stories that will be enjoyed by young people during their formative years, inspiring and influencing who they will become. Our intention is to celebrate and amplify genuine representation in our internal community, the publishing industry, and the works we put out into the world.
