Helping young readers grow a lifelong love of books is my passion. Reading should feel like magic, not a chore. With years as a children’s librarian, editor, and story coach, I curate personalised booklists and hand-picked bundles that match each child’s interests and reading level.
I’m Rachel Vine—qualified and experienced children’s librarian —and via bespoke book curation, I bring that expertise to families and gift-givers looking for books that inspire curiosity, joy, and imagination.
With the perfect book picks, I can help grow the young reader in your life. I help parents, carers, and gift-givers find books that suit the child—not just the age on the back cover.
How It Works
Tell me about the child—their age, interests, reading level, and what they’ve loved (or loathed!). I’ll hand-pick books to meet them where they’re at and gently stretch their reading world.
Choose from a simple booklist, a hand-wrapped book bundle, or one of my ready-to-go curated kits. Every package is created with care—no algorithms, just librarian know-how.

Meet Your Librarian
Rachel Vine is a children’s librarian, story coach, and developmental editor based in Boorloo (Perth, WA). With a background in education, children’s librarianship, and postgraduate study in Editing, Publishing, and Children’s Literature, she brings both heart and craft to every story she touches.
Through her boutique editing house, Wildflower Editorial, and her podcast Likely Stories, Rachel supports authors of children’s and youth fiction to grow their manuscripts from tender seedling to full bloom. She also curates bespoke book recommendations for young readers, blending her librarian know-how with her love of magical storytelling.
She believes in the quiet power of words, the wonder of a well-told tale, and the kind of stories that plant roots in young readers’ hearts.
Rachel works from a light-filled office shared with three distractingly handsome cats, a stack of half-drunk French Earl Grey teas, and an ever-growing book collection arranged in rainbow order.
