Does Kat hand autograph every book?
If you request for your book to be signed, then Kat will sign them lovingly by hand. You'll find it on the cover flap, or the top corner of the first page. (Back inside page for board books). This can add a day to your order for new releases, as we only have one Kat!

We have a special educational resource catalogue (Te Kete Kura a Kuwi) available exclusively for schools / kura / ECE / wānanga / tertiary / kaiako = pretty much anyone working within the educational realm. To request a catalogue or to open an educational account, email: hello@illustrated.co.nz
