16 FebChildren’s Book Council Book of the Year Night of the Notables
The Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is presenting a great online event for lovers of children’s books. The Night of the Notables celebrates the announcement of the 2021 CBCA Book of the Year Notables List for each of the Award categories (including early childhood books) and includes special guest speakers Jane Godwin, Leigh Hobbs and Bren MacDibble.
The CBCA presents annual awards to books of literary merit, for outstanding contribution to Australian children’s literature.
Established in 1945, the Children’s Book Council of Australia was founded at a time when Australian children’s books were few, and Australian authors and illustrators were virtually unknown. In 1946 the CBCA established annual book awards to promote books of high literary and artistic quality. These awards are now the most influential and highly respected in Australia.
Each year, across Australia, the CBCA brings children and books together celebrating CBCA Book Week. Throughout the year, the CBCA works in partnership with authors, illustrators, publishers, booksellers and other organisations in the children’s book world to bring words, images and stories into the hearts and minds of children and adults.
