This year an innovative approach to the Books Alive events, associated with the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults, has been created in response to challenges caused by the pandemic.

Books Alive finalist events and virtual storytimes are being offered online for the first time. We are celebrating and promoting the New Zealand Book Awards for Children and Young Adults finalist books, authors and illustrators and publishers to new audiences around the country.

School and public libraries have worked with finalists to create a series of online events for children, students, parents, caregivers and whanau to enjoy. We hope you take time to view and share a Books Alive event or virtual storytime.

You can purchase the finalist books through our virtual bookshop: https://www.thechildrensbookshop.co.n...
