We can't believe it’s been a year since BWF launched our supporter network – Chapter One.
Your commitment to nurturing the next generation of curious minds and lifelong readers has not gone unnoticed.
Because of you thousands of youngsters across Queensland opened their minds through stories and ideas.
8,000 students and families took part in Andy Griffiths' month activities as part of our program in the Gladstone region.
More than 14,000 prep to grade 12 students from as far as Chinchilla, Bundaberg, Longreach, Blackall, Mackay, St George, Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Central Queensland and North Queensland participated in Word Play.
3,000 students in regional and remote classrooms chatted online with Festival artists.
2,500 young readers, writers and storytellers experienced the Alphabet Zoo literary play space.
Countless young readers met their reading rockstars Emily Rodda, John Marsden, Andy Griffiths, Holly Black and Cassandra Clare...
...including Rosella, BWF's Roving Student Festival Reporter who interviewed Festival artists Jane Caro, Deb Fitzpatrick and Sjón.
It's been a pretty special year. Let’s make our second extraordinary.
Please continue your support as a Chapter One Ambassador.
Let's grow together.
Love,
BWF
