About us

At Amba Children's Publishing, we're here for curious minds, knowledge-seeking families and experts ready to share valuable insights.

We are a dedicated imprint of Amba Press, a respected educational publisher with decades of experience. We specialise in bringing purposeful children's fiction, informative non-fiction, educational picture books and research-based parenting resources to readers.

What sets us apart is our commitment to supporting authors with expertise and purpose. Rather than publishing children's content ourselves, we provide knowledgeable authors with the editorial guidance, market experience and the professional publishing processes they need to transform their specialised knowledge into accessible, engaging books that benefit young readers and families.

Our carefully curated collection offers children opportunities to learn, develop critical thinking skills and build a strong foundation for lifelong learning. From factual stories that illuminate the world to practical content that supports development, everything we help bring to market is crafted with educational integrity and real-world application.

Thank you for joining us on this journey – we look forward to helping purposeful authors bring their expertise to the next generation.
