Celebrate Children’s Book Week at Libraries Tasmania
Australia’s reading highlight of the year is here!
In 2026, the Children’s Book Week theme is ‘Symphony of Stories’.
I decided to try and show what stepping into a symphony of stories might be like. A huge colourful collection of characters bursting out of a book representing their different stories with weird and wonderful instruments.
