Oratia Books Catalogue 2025

The Oratia Books Catalogue 2025 is out now in print and digital form. This year we're delighted to profile 15 additions to Oratia Books and two for our international Five Oceans imprint — alongside the more than 130 books we keep in print. New in 2025 is our selection of Audiobooks (see page 9 of the catalogue), offering six choices across te reo reference, children's storybooks and YA fiction. Three new books add to the growing Moana Oceania series, curated by editorial director Carolyn Lagahetau. From October Five Oceans will actively bring books from around the world into English and Pacific languages for readers across Oceania, with the outstanding Turkish junior novel The Ant Rebellion and fabulous Finnish picture book Forest Field Notes launching. Many more New Zealand authors and illustrators fill the pages of this catalogue, which draws from Oratia Books' grounding in Te Wao-nui-o-Tiriwa, the Waitakere Ranges forest, guarded by the ruru (native owl).
