WA Young Readers Book Award is a readers’ choice award, organised on a statewide basis for young readers. The shortlists for this years competition have been released on the WAYRBA website.

These shortlists have been developed by education professionals from all the titles published in Australia in the last 6-12 months. Children from all over the state will vote on these shortlisted titles, to decide which is the most popular book in WA, in the various categories.

Find them here for Picture Books, Younger Readers and Older Readers.  PDF copies are available.

If parents are looking for recommendations of what to get their child for the next birthday, these shortlists are a good place to start.
