The Children's Book Council of Australia (CBCA) is a volunteer-run, not-for-profit organisation that has been dedicated to celebrating and advocating for the transformational power of stories since 1945. They lead a number of wonderful initiatives, but they are noted for running Children’s Book Week® along with Australia’s most influential and respected children’s literature award — the CBCA Book of the Year Awards in August.

Each year, a theme is selected to promote reading culture, with an artist appointed to bring this theme to life visually across educational resources and merchandise. ‘Reading is Magic’ is the theme for 2024, and coincidentally, the winning artist was former Erstwilder illustrator Jess Racklyeft!

For this exclusive partnership, we’ve been given the honour of transforming Jess’ wonderful illustration into wearable art, coming together with CBCA to release an exclusive ‘Reading is Magic Brooch’.

Sold exclusively on ERSTWILDER.COM and the CBCA eStore, we’ll be proudly donating $5 from the sale of each piece on our website back to the CBCA, supporting the important work they do.

DESIGN STORY

Reading has amazing powers! It can inspire, transport minds, and develop curiosity about the wonders of the world. Enjoy the reading journey each book brings and let your imagination take flight!

Info
Each piece is made from laser-cut and layered resin, hand assembled, hand painted and released in limited quantities. As all of our designs are lovingly glued, assembled and painted by hand, there can be very slight variations and blemishes from piece to piece. Due to the hand-mixed nature of the resins in our designs, it is also common and normal to find tiny flecks or bubbles in the resin layers. All in all, this just makes each piece as special and unique as you are.

Brooch clasps are made with a 100% stainless steel pin and plated brass screws. Please note, components change over time and may be made with other materials. If you have any specific design questions, please email the team at hello@erstwilder.com.

Designs come packaged in Erstwilder gift boxes.

She loved it!

I purchased Reading is Magic brooch for my daughter who works in a school library in Utah, USA. Her mission is to encourage a love of reading and this brooch is a wonderful symbol of that mission. I love that the person holding the ia androgynous so could be either a boy or a girl.

Reading IS magic

I am so happy to have got this brooch. Reading has always been magic for me. Jess Racklyeft is also one of my favourite of Erstwilders (past) designers. I love this brooch.

Proof is in the title and it’s all magic

This brooch is so lovely, it really does sum up the magic of reading, the only downside is its size would have loved it to be a tiny bit bigger.

Stunning!

Love it!

Love that it is literally the girl from the CBCA book week ‘Reading is Magic’
She is a great size for me as I prefer mini brooches, lovely sheen. So many of my library coworkers have admired her.
