The Readings Children’s Book Prize recognises and celebrates Australian books that children love to read, and raises the profile of debut and on-the-rise Australian children’s book authors.
The Prize judges are a panel of Readings children’s book specialists: Angela Crocombe, Athina Clarke, Alexa Dretzke, Isobel Moore, and Holly Harper. You can read the judges’ comments here.
They will be joined by a special guest judge, children’s book author Sally Rippin, to decide the winner, which will be announced in June 2016.
