We are very excited to announce the 2022 CBCA Book Week theme! The illustrator for 2022 is children's picture book creator and Darug woman Jasmine Seymour, who won the CBCA Award for New Illustrator in 2020 for her beautiful book Baby Business, published by Magabala Books.

Do you read aloud to your kids? To your students? Here are just SOME of the benefits to doing so. 💛📚💛

[The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand @ConversationEDU]

New research by @EdithCowanUni's @MKMerga shows reading can help young people escape from sources of stress, find role models + develop empathy. 📚

With COVID being so dispiriting, there couldn't be a better time for kids to escape to fictitious worlds.

To celebrate the first day of Book Week, the Library hosted a Manga Morning Tea, during which we revealed all of the new additions to our manga collection, which includes Haikyu!!!, Ao Haru Ride, and My Hero Academia. #CBCA2020

@EmilySignorini @BrightSideOfIG I’ll be trying this study technique myself!

[Casula High School @Casula_High]

Our amazing students created a beautiful video for us last week- check out our response to let them know that we are here for them and all in this together #studentsrock

[Kate Milliken @ilykcake]

@EmilySignorini @yvetteposh @T4L_DoE Yeah, that's a great idea! We could even have a writing competition and a prize?

[Kate Milliken @ilykcake]

Can't wait! #edchat #writing #writingcommunity

[Yvette Poshoglian 🌻 @yvetteposh]

@EmilySignorini @yvetteposh @T4L_DoE This would be great to do integrated with an English unit on writing, or a specific genre of writing... or even as 'Write Wednesday' lessons or something.

Thankfully this one didn’t come with a 7 years bad luck clause.

This greatly impacts my Halloween decorating schedule.

@ksimpsonbooks @Toltzable @OverDriveLibs @Bolindaaudio @bluefirereader If you’re concerned about the temptation of games, you can use the Apple Classroom app to track what your kids are looking at, what apps they’re using. They simply sign in to the Classroom for the duration of the time you want them to be reading, and when they’re done, sign out.

I've heard that coronavirus is going to cause a massive shortage of books, which will be essential when we're all stuck at home, so it's very important for everyone to rush out and start panic-buying novels. Thank you.
