To celebrate Book Week 2026, we asked The Literature Centre team what their favourite childhood books were 📚

From classics like the 'Moomin' series and 'Now We Are Six', to illustrated favourites like 'The Rainbow Fish' and 'The Faraway Tree' series, there isn’t a shortage of great childhood books to choose from for your next reading adventure ✨

Some stories whisper like white noise. Some roar like the crash of ocean waves. Some make us laugh out loud. Together, they create a symphony of voices, places and possibilities.

The theme for Book Week 2026 is ‘Symphony of Stories’, so we asked the TLC team to choose a sound that reminds them of their favourite reading experience 📚

What does your symphony of stories sound like? 🎶

Our first Young Writers workshops for the Term with Ash Harrier 🌟

The Year 6s got to create character police profiles, brainstorm supernatural powers, and make their own little monsters with blu tack and googly eyes. 👀

Ash's workshops were the perfect space for the young writers to brew new ideas for future books and stories. We'd like to thank her for bringing so many creative ideas and activities to our program!
