NZ Made: Scent Books' Daria Zamariakhina

From First Up, 5:13 am on 11 November 2021

Daria Zamariakhina runs a small business selling scented books for children, each one is printed in Germany on a special printing press that infuses them with smells that are safe for children.

She says she was inspired after buying the book "The stinking billy goat" on a trip to Russia for her daughter - this led to her contacting the book's German author and asking if she could translate the book and sell it in New Zealand for Kiwi children to enjoy.

Daria spoke to our producer Ellie Jay.
