The Readings Children’s Book Prize 2016 shortlist

readings logoThe 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.
