About Us

Hello! I'm Eleni and I live in the Coromandel with my husband Mike and our four beautiful children.

I started Kinder Folk in late 2023, shortly after my third child was born, desiring a creative outlet for myself while being at home with my children.

Although it began as a toy store, I quickly found my niche in books and am now focused on offering a growing selection of quality titles.

Our range is inspired by the books that I enjoy reading to my children and the books that they have grown to love and request over and over. I enjoy having books in my own home that are beautifully illustrated, well written and encourage imagination and a connection to nature. Most of our books are also influenced by the work of Rudolf Steiner and the Waldorf philosophy which aligns with our family.

I'm incredibly grateful to all of you who have already chosen to shop here and if you ever have any questions or you're after a specific book you can't find on our site, please feel free to reach out. I'm always happy to help and you will get the quickest response via email at kinderfolk.nz@gmail.com.
