Telling Tales
Our dedicated children’s bookshop in the heart of Ōtautahi Christchurch’s CBD is directly across the courtyard from Scorpio Books.
The sunny, spacious new shop is a treasure trove for the children of Ōtautahi, and the child within us all. The thoughtful selection of books aims to ignite imaginations and a thirst for knowledge in a new generation of readers. Our team at Telling Tales believe that books, and the stories they hold, have a unique capacity to inspire and connect us to a better future.
