Every year, the Wilderness Society celebrates Australia’s beloved authors, illustrators and storytellers for a week-long celebration of tales about our natural world. The week culminates in the winner’s announcement of the Karajia and Environment Awards for Children’s Literature.
We believe the books we read shape us as people. They can spark our greatest ideas and adventures, change the way we experience the world, and even help us establish our values.
The Karajia Award celebrates this continent's First Nations authors and/or illustrated children’s books. In Mirning culture, Karajia means a holder and teller of the ancient stories, carried from when the world was young.
The Environment Award for Children’s Literature has been running since 1994—that’s 25 years worth of amazing nature books! Check out some of the gems we’ve collected along the way.
Grab your next nature read! Whether you like a fictional tale where nature is almost a character or to dive in to learn something new in a non-fiction read, these books will captivate you.
