Book Week Parade at Echuca East Primary School

“They create it from nothing. So that includes their drafts, their editing, their publishing, they’re doing the illustrations, the printing, everything,” principal Lindy Burke said.

Ms Burke said the competition had been an important part of how they celebrated Book Week at the school.

“Not only are we just doing Book Week, but we’re immersing them in the love of literacy well and truly. So they also get to share their own stories with other kids in the school,” she said.
