The Frog's First Song
A playful picture book about the joys of belonging and community from award-winning Wiradjuri poet Jazz Money and three-time Archibald Prize finalist Jason Phu.
First, the world is all dark. A little bit muddled and confused.
The only sound dripping water and small bubbles gurgling.
In that darkness and quiet, everyone is alone.
This is the world in the well.
And so begins the tale of how frogs came to croak in chorus at night-time. Inspired by Chinese parables and Dreaming stories, this debut picture book is a unique and melodic ode to taking chances, using your voice and coming together in song and dance.

Publishing has a diversity problem. There are less 'diverse' books being published which limits the discoverability and reach of those authors.
Representation is important. Read more about why we exist here.
An anti-racist social enterprise bookstore specialising in BIPOC books.
Only about 11% of books published are by BIPOC authors — so unless you specifically seek out books by BIPOC authors, you aren't likely to find very many of them organically. At Amplify, BIPOC authors are highlighted and celebrated. Here, they don't have to fight to be seen, and you don't have to fight to find them.
We hope that in our shop, you can discover a new favourite read, find stories that speak uniquely to you, learn about a culture outside your own (or more about your own histories), and gain a better understanding of the systems that connect us all.
