We’re now selling online
Of course, our preference is to sell books through booksellers, but that’s not always possible—while many booksellers love our books as much as we do, some simply won’t stock them no matter what we or our distributor, The Scribo Group, seem to do.

‘Asian Currents’ likes ‘Kampung Boy’
Australian publisher Wilkins Farago should be congratulated for bringing the much-loved Malaysian cartoonist Lat’s Kampung Boy to Australia.
‘The Age reviews ‘The Red Piano’
‘First published in France, The Red Piano, with its striking illustrations and haunting story, is clearly a work of love. Aimed at young children, it is a lavishly produced picture book.’
Feast your eyes on the cover
‘The telling of Zhu Xiao-Mei’s story in picture book form is reminiscent of Mao’s Last Dancer children’s edition and tells the story of one person’s courage with the combination of sparse, well-chosen language and sensitive, unforgettable illustrations.’
Early plug for ‘The Red Piano’
‘I really love books with strong female characters and believe that it is so important that children are exposed to these sorts of stories about people, especially children, who follow their dreams and stand up for what they believe.’
