About Lantana Rosie J. Pova & Amariah Rauscher
We are an award-winning children’s book publisher and social enterprise with a
mission to publish inclusive books by under-represented voices celebrating every
kind of child and family.
Our books explore social themes that help children grow into brilliant, engaged
little citizens. They promote diversity and inclusion, social and racial justice, female
empowerment, empathy, mindfulness and wellbeing, environmental sustainability,
and more. And because we live on one extraordinary planet, we print our books

minimise our carbon footprint. Elliott has just moved into a new house. He spends
his days with his fictional friends, immersed in a book.
Our dream is for every child to have access to an inclusive bookshelf. That’s why When an inviting Sunday rain gathers the local kids
