Book Week 2021 runs from 21st – 27th August and each year there is a different theme for Australian Book Week. This year, the theme is “Old Worlds, New Worlds, Other Worlds”.
Book week is a fantastic opportunity for your child to celebrate their favourite characters from their favourite books by dressing up. This year’s theme is a great chance for your child to be anything they want to be, let their imagination (and yours) take you to another world of creativity!
