Curious Creatures, Wild Minds: CBCA Book Week 2020

 

The Children’s Book Council of Australia has announced the theme for Children’s Book Week 2020: ‘Curious Creatures, Wild Minds’.

Each year across Australia, the CBCA brings children and books together to celebrate CBCA Book Week. During this time schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children’s literature and you will often see children’s book character parades and talented librarians creating amazing displays.

Running from 16th to 23 October 2020, this is the perfect opportunity for little readers to set their minds free and roam among the wild world of books while celebrating all the best things about books and reading.
