Jacqueline Harvey: What makes a great children’s story?

Children’s Book Week is a celebration of the books, creators and stories that inspire young readers across Australia.

Beloved children’s author and Dymocks Children’s Charities Ambassador Jacqueline Harvey shares why this celebration is so important and how the right story can spark a lifelong love of reading.

“Children’s Book Week shines a spotlight on children’s books, their creators and the joy of sharing stories. It’s a time when many of us are out in schools across Australia inspiring the younger generation of readers to dive into a book or two – try something different – hopefully find the story that sparks a lifelong love of reading.

The work of Dymocks Children’s Charities is so important in giving children equity of access to books, no matter their background and in turn raising readers and literacy levels for all.”

This Children’s Book Week, Jacqueline is supporting Dymocks Children’s Charities to help more children across Australia access books and reading opportunities.
