Overview

The Storylines Story Tour brings celebrated New Zealand authors & illustrators to schools, kura kaupapa Māori, libraries and community venues across Aotearoa NZ - especially in regional and remote areas. For many tamariki, it’s their first time meeting a real-life author, sparking joy, curiosity and a love of reading. We’re raising $5,000 to help fund our 2025 Story Tours, covering author fees, van hire, fuel and travel costs. Backed by research from AUT’s LitPlus, we know these visits boost reading engagement, especially for reluctant readers and help tamariki see themselves in stories. Every dollar supports equitable access to books and storytelling, inspiring the next generation of readers and writers. With help, we can ensure stories travel to every corner of the motu.
