Meet Our Authors

Stories shaped by purpose
The authors connected with Inclusive World NZ share a common goal: to create stories and learning resources that help children see disability, difference and inclusion in positive ways.
Our work focuses on child-friendly language, meaningful messages and resources that families, schools and communities can use to support understanding and belonging.
What our authors help create
Inclusive World NZ brings together different types of resources designed to support inclusive learning in simple, practical and engaging ways.
Children’s stories
Stories that help children learn about friendship, kindness, disability, difference and what it means to belong.

Printable downloads, posters and classroom-friendly materials that support conversations about inclusion.
Accessible formats
Flipbooks, audiobooks and digital resources that make stories easier to share and enjoy in different ways.
Why inclusive storytelling matters
Children learn a great deal from the stories they hear, read and see. When disability is included naturally within stories and learning resources, it helps children understand that difference is part of everyday life.
Inclusive storytelling can help reduce stigma, encourage empathy and create space for children to ask questions in safe and positive ways.
Created for families, schools and communities
Our resources are designed for real-world use. They can support parents, caregivers, teachers, support workers, community groups and anyone who wants to help children learn about inclusion.
Some resources are free to download, while others help support the ongoing work of Children with Disability NZ.
Helping children see that everyone belongs
Inclusive World NZ is part of the Children with Disability NZ network. Our authors and resource creators help support a wider mission of making disability, inclusion and belonging more visible in everyday learning.
Every story has the potential to open a conversation, change a perspective and help a child understand the value of inclusion.
