Kat Quin Kuwi & Friends

Meet Kuwi & Friends, a beautiful collection created by award winning New Zealand author and illustrator Kat Quin.

Inspired by Aotearoa's unique native wildlife, the Kuwi & Friends range introduces children to some of our most treasured birds and animals through Kat's instantly recognisable illustrations and gentle, engaging characters.

At the heart of the collection is Kuwi the kiwi, joined by a growing family of native friends. Together they bring New Zealand wildlife to life in a way that is colourful, playful and accessible to little ones.

More Than Just Beautiful

Behind the gorgeous illustrations is a strong educational focus. The Kuwi & Friends collection encourages children to discover native species, learn more about the natural world and develop an appreciation for the wildlife that makes New Zealand so special.

Books, Gifts + Little Treasures

The range extends beyond the much loved Kuwi books into a wonderful collection of children's gifts, activities, keepsakes and everyday treasures. The familiar characters make it easy to create a beautiful gift for a new baby, toddler or young child.
