Authors and Illustrators

The Children’s Book Council of Australia celebrates and supports Australian authors and illustrators of books for children and young adults, primarily though the Children's Book of the Year Awards.

We also know how useful it is to have a central location where great author and illustrator sites can be found. We have tried to find some of these for you. We have separated them into different reading ages.
