Tahlia Young is a young Yamitji Noongar girl who loves to make her own books. In this video made during NAIDOC Week 2020, Tahlia will show you how to fold a piece of paper into an 8-page book which you can then fill with words and pictures. (Tahlia uses an A3
sheet of paper but this template is for an A4 sheet.)

[Produced by Kids Own Publishing (Victoria) https://kidsownpublishing.com/kids-home-publishing/ a community publishing venture that uses the mini folded books in some of its community projects.]
Thanks to Healthway and Go for 2&5 for this wonderful mini book template.

Reading Promotion and Display Ideas

  • Find out as much as you can about the shortlisted authors or illustrators and then role play interviewing an author or illustrator with one student taking the role of an author/illustrator and another taking on the role of the interviewer.
  • Attend CBCA Book Week activities at your local library.
  • Dress up 
  • Involve students in the creation of a striking library display.
