Mila's Books says 'This moment truly belongs to our communities, our readers, our tamaiti, and every one of you who has believed in the power of Pasifika stories. From the classrooms to the libraries and retailers, the living rooms to the book fairs and conferences – your support and alofa has helped us to show the world what is possible for our Pasifika stories and storytellers.

As the only all-Pasifika publishing team in the history of the awards to achieve this recognition, we humbly accept this award as a celebration of our collective journey – of cultural pride, storytelling, and reclaiming our narratives as Pasifika. So let’s continue on our mission of ensuring our tamaiti know that they deserve to be seen, heard and valued through the stories they read.'

Congratulations to Mila's Books!
