18.01.2022 REVIEW: Bureau of Weights and Measures "This story by Anne-Gaëlle Balpe is a great way to start children thinking about emotions -- what they are, how they work and so on -- as well as mathematical concepts, through the explanation and examples of measurements." ~ Kids Book Review #kidsbookreview #bookreview #vincentmahe #nationalmeasurementinstitute #stem

12.01.2022 The books have to stand on their own as works of childrens literature, of course. But if they can also stimulate enquiry in young minds, then were doubly happy. ~ Andrew Wilkins, Publisher

08.01.2022 We're Back! New books from Wilkins Farago

07.01.2022 Susie Morgenstern and Serge Bloch's wonderful "The Pink Suitcase" is featured in Readings Carlton/Readings' Summer Reading Guide. There's been a lot of recent media coverage about the launch of a new US-owned online store in Australia, but here's an Australian bookseller that's been supporting our books since we started publishing 19 years ago. You can show your support for quality independent bookselling by ordering this wonderful picture book from them today.

07.01.2022 "The books strength lies not in its spruiking of phonics but in the addressing of the entire literacy problem, ways forward and in its encouragement of deeper investigation and care on a kid-by-kid basis.' Education Today... Now available in eBook.

06.01.2022 We had a browse through the Merchant of Fairness over the weekend, a second hand bookshop located within the South Melbourne Market. Owner Rod has been trading there since 1984!

03.01.2022 I think I may have just discovered the most geeky thing ever (and I secretly LOVE it) .... Australia has their very own Bureau of Weights and Measures! The National Measurement Institute (NMI) is Australia's peak measurement body responsible for biological, chemical, legal, physical and trade measurement! http://www.measurement.gov.au... #STEM #Ilovelearning #engineeringforkids

02.01.2022 REVIEW 'a meditation on the realities of war, enemies, and the profound value of seeking understanding' by Kim Fulcher... As a publisher, it is a delight to see some of our older (and favourite books) still getting reviewed as more people discover them.

02.01.2022 Vincent Mahé, master of the gorgeous illustrations in our latest book Bureau of Weights and Measures has created some stickers for Facebook. Aren't they cool? (and super classy ... )

01.01.2022 Love Your Bookshop Day tomorrow!

01.01.2022 It might be pirates ... When we translated Bureau of Weights and Measures, we had to make sure we had both metric and imperial measurements in the artwork. It turns out this may be the fault of pirates. Yes, it seems that pirates may be the reason the US doesn't use the metric system. ... #talklikeapirateday #bureauofweightsandmeasures #picturebooks #stem

01.01.2022 Very sad to hear from our good friends at Beatnik Publishing in New Zealand of the passing of one of our favourite authors, Heather McAllister. Her ingenious guide to making choices after school, 'Who You Are is What You Do' is still one of the best books you can give a school leaver. Says Beatnik Publishing: "Early Monday morning we lost this beautiful soul to cancer. Beatnik author, friend, mentor and kick-arse Aunty, Heather McAllister has played a huge role in the Beatnik... story. Saying she will be missed is an understatement. We're simply devastated but also feel so sooo lucky to have had the time we did. Your words of wisdom live on in your wonderful book. You will continue to guide kids here and around the world where it is translated. Breath easy sweet Heather. Love you forever." We were proud to publish her book in other English language markets. http://wilkinsfarago.com.au/our/who-you-are-is-what-you-do/

01.01.2022 Yes, this is how we start our workday at the WF offices. (Not quite, but we do books ) #bookweek #TGIF #FridayFun
