The CBCA, a cornerstone in promoting and celebrating Australian children\u2019s books since 1946, continues its tradition of nurturing young readers\u2019 imaginations and supporting the incredible talents of Australian authors and illustrators. With key dates fast approaching, including the Shortlist announcement on 19 March and the eagerly anticipated Winners and Honours presentation on 16 August, the literary community holds its collective breath with anticipation.<\/p>\n<p>This year is particularly meaningful to me, as I\u2019m honoured to serve as one of the three judges for the <a href=\"https:\/\/cbca.org.au\/notables-2024#anchor-PB\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cbca.org.au\/notables-2024#anchor-PB\" rel=\"noopener\">Picture Book of the Year<\/a> and New Illustrator Categories. Reviewing each submission has been a remarkable journey, allowing me to delve into the creativity, originality, and effort poured into every page of each book. The task of evaluating these works has been deeply rewarding, giving me a new level of respect for the creators behind these captivating stories and illustrations. If you\u2019d like to learn more about each Notable book, you can check out critiques from the panel of judges including myself <a href=\"https:\/\/cbca.blob.core.windows.net\/documents\/BookOfTheYear\/2024\/2024_CBCA-Notables-CritiquesFull.pdf\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/cbca.blob.core.windows.net\/documents\/BookOfTheYear\/2024\/2024_CBCA-Notables-CritiquesFull.pdf\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>A huge shoutout to all the authors and illustrators who\u2019ve landed on this year\u2019s Notables list.
