Children’s Book Week
Book Week is coming up this month! And this year’s theme is Book an Adventure. Schools and libraries around the country will join in with dress-up parades, storytelling events and a celebration of the fantastical worlds and journeys reading can take us on.
This annual event is run by the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA), who is celebrating 80 years of Book Week this year. Congratulations CBCA! Here’s to many more.
