Illustrated Publishing is a small press & studio, originally set up in 2002 to assist with the design and illustration of tertiary resources for Te Wānanga o Aotearoa and Takatū Associates. 20 years later, we are still loving our mahi! We have expanded to create and produce beautifully illustrated children's books & early learning te reo Māori resources.
