Story Box is a fantastic literary resource for pre-school through to upper primary-aged children in which a range of actors, sportspeople, authors, illustrators and more, with varying accents and from diverse cultures, share their unique voices in an ever-growing library.

With a wide variety of popular and award-winning titles, Story Box has something for everyone including Mental Health and Resilience stories, an Indigenous Story Time collection and Auslan releases which allow deaf and hearing-impaired children to experience the joy of storytelling alongside their peers.


Activity sheets accompanying the stories provide fun and useful ideas for further exploring themes through art and play or can simply add something new to craft time.
