One thought on “Prize 1 includes six children’s novels by Australian writers.”
I love that there is a space which encourages literacy in children without it being educational or school based. I love the focus on Australian writers and also that it is not just books but poetry as well. I would love to see a greater focus encouraging boys to read more books too. There is so much out there for them now.
