🥁🥁🥁 Drum roll! Drum roll! Ta, da! 🥁🥁🥁

The 2027 CBCA Book Week theme is Catch the Reading Bug, illustrated by award-winning creative Danny Snell.

This is an the kind of extremely contagious bug you actually want to catch 🪰

So, what do you think would happen if you caught the reading bug? Well, it goes without saying that if you catch the reading bug, you develop a healthy fascination with books and reading. But surprisingly (and this is a little-known fact), you may also grow wings, just like the mysterious Reading Bug.

So, pick up a book and see if you can catch the reading bug. You never know ... you might also grow a beautiful set of wings to transport you somewhere special 🧚‍♂️🧚🧚‍♀️

We're looking forward to celebrating CBCA Book Week with you again in 2027!

This tiny bird looks like a miniature creature built for disappearing into Australia’s desert grasses. The Rufous-crowned Emu-wren is a small, elusive bird found in dry heathlands and scrubby habitats of southern Australia. Its delicate body, short rounded wings, and long, narrow tail help it weave effortlessly through dense vegetation, where it spends much of its time searching for insects and other tiny invertebrates. The warm rufous crown gives this otherwise subtle bird a beautiful flash of color—but spotting one is another story entirely.

A tiny master of the scrub, proving that some of nature’s most fascinating birds are also the easiest to miss.

Set in a romantic and colourful setting of medieval Italy, there are shades of Romeo and Juliet hanging in the air. The memory of seeing the ballet of Romeo and Juliet is also very evocative. The first scene is a humble artisan's workshop, and a beautiful, but secretive young woman, is bent over the workbench producing very high-class illuminations. She is sought out by a powerful man who wants her to do a civic charter for his family. The context of cryptic messages, hidden symbols, marks of treacherous history is woven into such a document. The illuminator discusses this with her patron and together they delve into a deeper truth of both their lives.
