Book week 2026
From Saturday August 22nd to Friday August 28th, Australia transforms into a grand stage for imagination during Children's Book Week. This year's enchanting theme, "Symphony of Stories," invites young readers to conduct their own orchestra of tales, where every book is an instrument and every page a note in a melody made just for them.
Schools and libraries nationwide will turn into wonderlands of literary delight with character parades, magical author visits, and activities that make reading feel like play. It's a time when stories leap off the page to dance through hallways, reminding us that every child carries a story within them waiting to be sung.
