Gecko Press is an independent, international publisher of curiously good children’s books

Gecko Press hand-picks, translates and publishes books by some of the best writers and illustrators in the world —books of good heart and strong character, excellent in story, illustration and design.

We choose stories children and parents will want to read hundreds of times, for ages 0 to 12 (sometimes infinity).

Gecko Press is based in Wellington, New Zealand, and our books are sold throughout the English-speaking world in print and digital editions.

We use high-quality paper, sewn bindings, and sustainably sourced products, and try to make each book the best it can be.
