BOOK WEEK NEWS
Book Week is a week set aside in Australia for celebrating books, and Australian authors and illustrators. It has its origins in 1946 when the Children’s Book Council of Australia established an annual book awards to promote children’s books that were of high literary and artistic quality. Over 70 years later it continues to support and encourage a wide range of Australian writers and illustrators of children's books.
This year’s Book Week theme is ‘Curious Creatures and Wild Minds’. Due to the current situation Book Week is being celebrated during Term 4, 17th - 23rd October, across Australia.
Over the next few weeks we will be showing videos to promote some of the books nominated for Picture Story Book Award. Below are the titles for this section.
