About Book Week
Each year across Australia, the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) brings children and books together to celebrate Book Week. During this time schools, libraries, booksellers, authors, illustrators and children celebrate Australian children’s literature.
Every year we receive thousands of fantastic entries and it's the highlight of the year for our children’s librarians.
The Book Week drawing and writing competition opens on 1 June 2026. Full details to come.
