Picture Books

Our diverse children’s books are created to help all children feel seen, valued, and confident. At Nine Mile Babies, we centre Black and mixed-heritage experiences while welcoming families, educators, and communities who want to embrace diversity, culture, and inclusive storytelling. Our picture books and activity books celebrate identity, imagination, and everyday joy showing children a world where difference is normal and celebrated.

Whether you’re a parent building an inclusive home library, an educator shaping young minds, or a gift-giver choosing with purpose, our books are designed to support confident, curious children from the very start.

Who this collection is for

• Black children and families seeking positive representation
• Mixed-race children and families exploring identity and belonging
• Parents and carers who value diversity and inclusive storytelling
• Nurseries, schools, and educators teaching children from all backgrounds
• Anyone who believes children’s books should reflect the real world

Why representation matters for all children
Children learn about themselves and others from a very young age. Seeing diverse characters helps Black and mixed-race children build self-esteem, while helping all children develop empathy, understanding, and respect for different cultures. Inclusive books don’t just reflect the world — they help shape a kinder one.
