Hi There,

I'm Peta - teacher, author, mum and wife.

I created Little Kookaburra Creative to support children, families and educators as they grow strong, confident readers and writers.

In the classroom, I saw the same thing repeatedly happen. When a child connected with the right story, their confidence grew, their curiosity sparked and reading became something they looked forward to rather than avoided. Those moments are the heart of Little Kookaburra Creative.

How It Began

Little Kookaburra Creative started with one simple idea. To create stories and resources that feel playful, purposeful and truly enjoyable for children, while supporting the adults guiding their learning.

As a primary school teacher, I have worked with children who have very different reading abilities and styles. Many parents want to include meaningful reading moments, and look for new ideas that fit into their day, not add to it. If this is you, you're in the right place!

In today's classrooms, teachers need high-quality, efficient resources that support positive outcomes, and I'm here to make the load a little lighter.

My books and resources are thoughtfully designed for

Families

Families wanting quality reading experiences that simultaneously enhance connection and reading skills.

Educators

Educators seeking engaging, discussion rich texts and resources that align with the Australian Curriculum

Children

Children who thrive, explore and learn with confidence, when reading feels fun, relaxed and enjoyable.

The 3 C's

Every product is created with three things in mind

Confidence

To help children feel capable, brave, and proud of their reading and writing.

Connection

To bring families and classrooms together through laughter, learning and shared moments.

Curiosity

To encourage children to ask questions, explore ideas and develop a lifelong love of words with language they want to explore.

Whether you're building a bedtime routine, modelling fluency, or supporting young readers in the classroom, let me help you make literacy feel meaningful, achievable and full of delight.
