Berbay Publishing is an award-winning independent children’s publishing house based in Melbourne, Australia, that has established a reputation locally and internationally for producing highquality, original and enriching children’s books for readers from ages 0-12.

Berbay’s books contain stories with universal appeal and an eye for playfulness. We publish stories that have depth—that are imaginative, poignant and humorous. Stories that provoke thoughtfulness, inspire empathy, and are directed towards the child. But we also feel strongly that books should be beautiful. So, our design-centric list is filled with the work of artists from Australia and around the world whose illustrations help engage the reader and enhance the reading experience.

We believe that books create a curious mind and inspire creativity. That books should be treasured and loved and that stories are for sharing.
