Book Week 2014

Children's Book Week is run by the the Children's Book Council of Australia. Each year in August, schools and libraries spend a week celebrating books, Australian authors and illustrators.

The students in Prep, Year 1 and two celebrated Book Week dressed up as a favourite character in a big parade. This year is the last parade for Jonah as he starts Year 3 after Christmas. Next year Lily will be in Prep and gets to participate in the Book Week - this year she was happy to get dressed up too!


Master Jonah as a pirate!


Jonah and Lily aka Pirate J and Swedish Pippi Långstrump (Longstocking)

My own Pippi Longstocking.
Love her blue and yellow with a touch of green and red Pippi outfit.


After the Book Week Parade, we headed home... ☺

  1. Hej Nilla,
    Jag var så tyst eftersom jag var på resande fot hela sommaren.

    Det var en underbar sommar med familjen och lite till. Jag såg att du hade kul Downunder.

    När kommer ni i Sverige. Hoppas ni kommer och hälsar på din familj.

    Ha en underbar onsdag, söta vän.

    Många kramar.
