Together, The Children's Book Council of Australia and StoryBox Hub are excited to connect young Australians with quality literature

Children's Book Week - one of Australia's most beloved reading celebrations - returns August 22-28, inviting us into a Symphony of Stories

It's a theme that reminds us how books blend words, images, sounds and emotions into something truly powerful.

To kick things off, author, illustrator and composer Matt Ottley Art shares what Symphony of Stories means to him - and how his series, The Sound of Picture Books, brings that idea to life in a truly immersive way.

The City of Casey Dads Matter program is inviting men of all ages, from 16 to 100, to come together for a great night out.
Launched in 2025, the Forum for Men & Fathers is an opportunity to meet other father figures and men, and to chat about important topics.
We recognise that it can be difficult to find a safe space to talk openly about being a man. The Forum is that space.

Grab a delicious free dinner, meet other men, hear from the great speakers and get the chance to share your thoughts on important topics.

Kids Health Info : Understanding behaviour – toddlers and young children Expressing feelings through behaviour is a normal part of early childhood development. Toddlers and young children experience a wide range of emotions, often very strongly. These strong emotions are sometimes described as ‘big feelings.’
