The Children’s Book Council of Australia was established in 1945, and has been supporting quality Australian children’s literature ever since. Each year the Council selects books, for toddlers through to teens, that are sure to ignite imaginations. The winners are announced during Book Week, this year running from August 19-23 with the theme “Reading is Magic”.
You can check out the full shortlist here, but below we have included a few of our favourites from each category.
