Larrikin House is an Australian based publisher owned and managed by James Layton. James has been a children’s bookseller for close to 30 years. Drawing from his experience & his depth of market knowledge, James creates books that are fun for the sake of fun, but also use humour to bring through a subtle message without being "preachy". James believes when reading for children is a “want to” rather than a “have to” then that child will develop a genuine love for literature.
