Donate today to help us deliver two brilliant books for Kiwi kids to school libraries across Te Tai Tokerau / Northland

Vibrant, playful and engaging, ‘Annual 3’ and ‘The Observologist’ are already delighting and inspiring young readers across Aotearoa.

‘Annual 3’ is a contemporary take on the much-loved annuals of the past. ‘The Observologist’ - a field guide for budding natural scientists - is by award-winning Kiwi illustrator and comic writer, Giselle Clarkson. ‘

In 2023/24 the Fledge Trust delivered copies of ‘Annual 3’ to 75 flood-affected schools in the Te Tairawhiti / Hawkes Bay region. For our next campaign we’re focussing on Te Tai Tokerau / Northland – a part of Aotearoa that’s experienced more than its share of catastrophic weather events.

The Fledge Trust’s mission is to deliver copies of these two wonderful books into every full-primary and intermediate school across the region. We need a community of donors to help us purchase, package and deliver approximately 85 copies of ‘Annual 3’ and ‘The Observologist’. For every $84 donated, we will send copies of both books addressed to the School Librarian of each school.

Your donation – big or small - will help with our goal of building a life-long love of reading in young New Zealanders.

We'd appreciate you sharing this campaign with friends and family - far and wide!
