CBCA Shortlist

The CBCA Shortlist for 2024 has just been announced. It lists the top Australian Children’s Books that have been published in 2023. In August, the CBCA Winners are announced. If you are looking to add to your home library and purchase quality texts, this is an excellent guide. 

One of my favourite up and coming authors Huda Hayek has been nominated for Book of the Year: Younger Readers. Huda was Here is a delightful and hilarious story about a lion-hearted girl who just wants the best for her family. 

Boroondara Libraries School Holiday Program 

Our local libraries offer a wealth of resources, activities and holiday events. I would encourage you to look at their holiday programs in the lead up to the holiday break - https://www.eventbrite.com.au/cc/school-holiday-program-150429. 

It’s also a great time for families to visit the library and select new books together.
