Mission Statement

About Waikari Ventures

file_0000000044e461f898b62912d6ad6550 (1).png

We build for love, not legacy. But legacy comes anyway.

Waikari Ventures exists to tell stories that protect our children, honor our roots, and remind the world where strength truly comes from, family, truth, and doing the job right.

Through books, tools, and future tech, we’re laying down bricks our kids can stand on. Paving a road that starts in our backyard and stretches across generations.

We don’t follow blueprints.
We draft our own.

Our Books

Welcome to a world where the Waikari family and their teddies turn everyday life into unforgettable adventures.

From muddy backyards and building sites to magical cows and globe-trotting giraffes, every story is inspired by real kids, real memories, and the wild imaginations of a close-knit whānau.

Whether it’s Ralph the Tradie teaching kids the value of hard work, Girph chasing dreams bigger than himself, or Moo bringing chocolate milk magic to bedtime, these tales blend fiction and family truth in a way that feels like home.

With a cast of cousins, parents, pets, and plush sidekicks, these books are designed for laughs, lessons, and late-night reads.

A mix of fiction and non-fiction bedtime stories, made by one family, for all families to enjoy.

Joint Adventures

Whether it’s teddy time, the kids causing chaos, or Mum and Dad getting stuck in, we’ve built a library of stories to share with the world.

Some are fiction, some are real, and a few are tall tales made from both.

The engine’s hot, and we’re off to the races, come along for the ride and enjoy these bedtime adventures with our whānau and their cuddly co-stars.
