The CBCA WA branch are so proud but not surprised to see our amazing WA creatives win at the CBCA's Book of the Year Awards 2024.
Briony Stewart won in the Early Childhood category, with her dazzling Gymnastica Fantastica (see her matching dress above). Kelly Canby won the coveted Picture Book of the Year with her profound story Timeless, about making time to enjoy one's family and community. Whilst, Mark Greenwood and Frané Lessac, were acknowledged with an honour book title in the Eve Pownall category for their book Our Country: Where History Happened, which beautifully details our First Nation's history. Our Peter Cheong won the Shadow Judging award for Every Night at Midnight under the Picture Book of the Year Award, which is awarded by our young people. We are also very proud of all our WA storytellers that were nominated. Aren't we so lucky to have such talented and creative storytellers in our backyard? Comments are closed.
