Finding inspiration in every turn

Book Treehouse is a supplier of children's books and gifts, because we know that kids are the future and they need to be able to learn as much as they can.

We believe books are one of the greatest gifts you can give a child. They teach children to read, they show them how to dream, and they inspire them to be who they want to be. It is the gift that lasts a lifetime!

We supply bookshops and retailers as a wholesaler, and do not sell directly to the public. If you are looking for our books for your family or classroom, visit our Where to Buy page to find a stockist near you.

Our story

Our beginnings

In 2011, Sariah started in the book industry as a Barefoot Books Ambassador, marketing and promoting award-winning, beautifully illustrated children's books throughout New Zealand. A year later, in 2012, Jean became a Barefoot Books Ambassador and brought the company's products into Montessori schools and early childhood centres.

Our present and future

Over the years, Sariah and Jean were approached by bookshops and retailers who wanted to stock Barefoot Books because their customers kept asking for them. In 2022, they established Book Treehouse to supply Barefoot Books products to bookshops, retailers and the wholesale industry.

The range keeps growing, with children's books by independent New Zealand writers and handcrafted educational felt playsets.

Our mission and values

At Book Treehouse, we are passionate about sharing the power of books with children, and we are dedicated to making a positive impact on the world, one book at a time.

Our commitment to quality is reflected in every book we offer, from classic children's stories to modern and diverse titles that reflect the experiences of children from all backgrounds. We believe reading is not only a way to expand children's minds and vocabulary, but also a tool to build self-esteem and confidence.

Mission

To inspire a love of reading in children by providing high-quality, engaging books that inspire children to be kind, compassionate, confident and resilient, and that foster a lifelong passion for learning. Every child deserves access to books that are fun to read and also help them develop critical thinking, emotional intelligence, and empathy and understanding for the world around them.

Vision

We strive to make our books accessible to all families, so every child has the opportunity to discover the joy of reading. Whether you are a parent, teacher or librarian, we are here to share the best selection of children's books to inspire and delight young readers for years to come.
