The Aotearoa New Zealand Children's Literature Charitable Trust was founded by a group of enthusiastic professionals in the field of children's literature. The Trust has been set up to reserve and promote New Zealand's Children's literature. Te Tai Tamariki will bring children, writers and illustrators together in a unique environment of creativity, literature and art. Naturally a good deal of fund-raising will need to be done to achieve the goal of owning a building in which to house the Centre and this Calendar is the first step along this path.
