CBCA Book Week
Curious Creatures, Wild Minds
The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is a not for profit, volunteer run organisation which aims to engage the community with literature for young Australians. The CBCA presents annual awards to books of literary merit, for outstanding contribution to Australian children's literature.
As you create colourful displays for your classroom and celebrate books, children's authors and illustrators, why not look to artists who have been inspired by books and literature in the creation of their works of art.
