Merchandise!
The Facebook community that spawned a podcast now has merch!
We've got Your Kid's Next Read t-shirts for adults (seen below - we missed our calling as models) and kids, as well as a tote that is librarian-blessed for use as a school book bag! See all products and buy here.
Team YKNR is super-excited to be partnering with the fabulous Tilly & Wilbur – who offer quality, sustainably produced garments sourced from other Australian businesses with a strong ethical vision.
We'll donate 10 per cent of profits towards the Indigenous Literacy Foundation and put the rest put towards running costs for the podcast and the community.
Book lists
The Your Kid’s Next Read community is a great source of recommendations for books
for children of all ages, from 0-18.
