YABBA

The Young Australians Best Book Awards (YABBA) were established in 1985 by a group of Victorians keen to see children engage in reading Australian books.

They seek to provide children a voice within the general Australian children’s book industry.  The YABBA Awards encourages children to recommend recent Australian published books, read all the recommendations for their peers, rate them against all others and then finally reward that book they feel is best. If you are looking for books your children maybe interested in check out the books on the link below or encourage
