Your assessments will often ask you to select high-quality children's books. To identify quality books, awards are a good place to start.
The most important award in Australia comes from the Children's Book Council of Australia (Links to an external site).. Children’s Book Week covers readers from infants to young adults.
You can find all the winners and nominees of the CBCA Awards right back to 2013 in the Children's Literature Subject Guide. All the books (and eBooks) are linked to QUT Library.
