Due to the fall out from COVID-19, you would all be aware that the CBCA has officially moved Book Week for 2020 to the week commencing Monday, 19th October, 2020.
Given this shift in dates, there has been lots of activity to secure speakers to present to students at this time. Therefore, if you would like to secure a 2020 Book Week Booking in October with one of our talented speakers, please contact us via website enquiry, phone call or email asap as dates are filling up fast.
As such, we encourage you all to check out the full list of wonderful speakers that we represent. All have something valuable to offer!

Dimity Powell has extended her considerable repertoire of talents to include TV presenting! She writes: "Pippa and I were lucky enough to share the story time couch with fellow picture book character, Glitch and Michelle Worthington on Channel 9Go's new children's educational show, reading@homeTV".
Reading@homeTV is one of three learning based programs devised by the Queensland Education Department's drive to deliver (shows to) support language and literacy development for children in kindergarten to Year 3. The program also encourages children to become involved with the Premier's Reading Challenge. You'll find Pippa listed on the 2020 reading lists.
