Celebrating WA Success!

WA Authors and illustrators had great success at the CBCA 2021 Book Awards with many finalists and notables. Check out the videos below to see the depth of talent we have here in WA
​WA's amazing writing and illustrating talent is also often reflected by the number of local authors and illustrators who make it to the Notables list for the Children’s Book Council of Australia Awards each year and 2020 was no exception! 

Watch as each 2020 Notable author and illustrator discusses the inspiration behind their books. 

​This project was made possible by the Department of Local Government, Sports and Cultural Industries, Lotterywest and Healthway, promoting the Go for 2 & 5 message.
