Book Week is the longest running children's festival in Australia and will celebrate its 70th birthday this year. All the previous themes can be found here.
Each year, many schools and public libraries from all over Australia spend a week celebrating books and Australian authors and illustrators. Classroom teachers, teacher librarians and public librarians develop activities, offer competitions and tell stories relating to a theme to highlight the importance of reading.
The children at Holy Family look forward to this week every year. Not only do they love the Book Fair but they love the Character Parade.
