If You Are a School or Educational Facility

Welcome to Busy Books Australia

I’m Tara, a devoted mum to three incredible kids, each with their own unique personalities, strengths, and challenges. My journey through motherhood has shaped every aspect of my life, teaching me resilience, empathy, and a deep appreciation for the importance of supporting children in all areas of their growth.

Raising my children, including navigating the complexities of parenting a neurodivergent child, has inspired my commitment to ensuring that all children have access to tools that empower them to thrive.

Throughout my professional life, I’ve worn many hats—from veterinary nursing, where I developed problem-solving and caregiving skills, to working as a Children and Families Pastor, providing support and guidance to families in my community. More recently, I’ve been part of the Education IT space, helping schools and educators access valuable tools to support students. Each role has shaped my perspective on how crucial it is to nurture children holistically and provide families with meaningful resources.

Our family is fortunate to call the beautiful Coffs Coast home. We love spending time exploring its beaches, bush trails, and freshwater spots, embracing the sense of adventure and togetherness that these experiences bring. These moments with my children remind me of the joy and discovery that comes from learning—not just in a classroom, but in life.

Taking on Busy Books Australia is an absolute privilege. This brand, thanks to Kylee, has already made such a positive impact in the lives of so many parents, educators, and therapists by providing tools that make learning enjoyable and interactive, while also strengthening connections within families.

My goal is to continue building on this legacy, creating resources that inspire curiosity, foster confidence, and unlock every child’s potential.

I’m so excited to share this next chapter with you.

Let’s grow, learn, and thrive—together.

Tara

FEEDBACK

What our happy clients are saying

“We have seen him engage and focus like never before...”

“Thank you so much for the wonderful tool you have created!Jett (3.5yrs) has speech and sensory/fine motor skill delay and over the last few weeks having the books, we have seen him engage and focus like never before! He is a very smart kid, just sometimes cant express himself, so seeing him smash his way through all the letters and numbers with such enthusiasm is so beautiful! He gets so excited when we bring the book out, he is happy sitting and working away on his own, then shouts out with joy “Look Mumma, I’ve done it!!! “Little brother Bohdi (21 months) loves to get in on the action too! He is an old pro at the colour matching games and shape sorting, calling out “Oval” “Diamond” as he finds their spot on the page!! It’s incredible seeing his little mind ticking along!”

“I have just received my order and I wanted to say THANKYOU."

As a teacher I am always looking for ways to extend and build on my own daughters current understandings. Within minutes of opening she had snatched the first book and sat for 40 minutes completing page after page. Within 5 minutes these books have given me a great understanding of where she is with her understandings and I can’t believe how eager she is to learn! I’m beginning to think her “challenging behaviour” recently could be due to me not challenging her! Thank you for an incredibly beautifully presented, great quality tool which I can use at home and in the classroom!”

“The Alphabet, numbers and writing busy book has been great for my daughter."

” I highly recommend this book especially for a child getting ready for Kindergarten. She really enjoys the content within the book. We sit together and talk about the sounds of the letters which gives her the confidence to complete it. She loves the velcro pieces and talking about each picture. Thank you Busy Books Australia for creating a book to assist my preschooler in her learning and getting ready for Kindergarten.”

“I love the busy books as a mum of toddlers and as a speech pathologist for a few reasons – it has images that are bright and simple for little learners to recognise, it makes matching, colours, counting, letter sounds and early writing fun. It’s also adaptable for whatever goals you are targeting – can be used for turn taking, requesting and other areas of receptive and expressive language development. It’s also compact and easy to take away with you to cafes, during travel or out and about. A sturdy, quality book developed by a mum with love – I highly recommend it as a screen free alternative at home and as an educational tool.”
