Book Week is in full swing, marking it’s 80th year celebrating all things reading and literacy for Australia’s schoolchildren.

The theme for the week, which runs from Saturday 16 to Saturday 23 August, is “Book an Adventure”, encouraging children to explore new worlds through stories.


The highlight of Book Week for many kids is the chance to dress up as their most beloved characters, bringing them to life from the pages of a favourite book and into a costume parade.

This year, Guardian Australia would love to see photos of your children’s weirdest, whackiest and most wonderful costumes.

Please submit photos where only your own children are visible.
