A book is always worth a look. It’s where our imagination takes hold and leads our mind on adventures only known to us. Despite rapidly evolving technology, most of us agree, the tactile emotion of flicking pages, even that ‘new book smell’, can’t be replaced by a screen.
Every year since 1945 the Children’s Book Council of Australia (CBCA) has brought children and books together across Australia through Book Week. During this time schools and public libraries spend a fun week celebrating books and Australian children's authors and illustrators.
Classroom teachers, teacher librarians and public librarians create colourful displays, develop activities, run competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading.
2022’s book week was held August 20-26 and the theme was ‘Dreaming with eyes open’.
Dinosaurs and bears, princesses and explorers, butterflies and bugs; you could find them and many other colourful and creative book characters at the Mackay Regional Botanic Gardens last week for the annual Book Week event, Picnic in the Gardens. Photo credit: Mackay Regional Council
