2023 Children’s Book Week Costume inspo

On the countdown for 2023 Children’s Book Week and stuck for ideas?

Children’s Book Week costume crisis? Roll this way my friends … I have some wheelie good suggestions for my picture book Sunday Skating, illustrated by Hannah Sommerville.

All you’ll need is: 

• helmet
• rollerskates, rollerblades or skateboard
• wrist, knee and elbow pads
• bright coloured skate clothes

and for extra costume oomph:

• sunset shades in your colour palette
• ghetto blaster with 1970’s retro tunes (my skate era)
• use tiny techdecks and create your own accessories like earrings and necklaces

And, if you do have a Sunday Skater in your CBCA Book Week tribe, I’d love to see the final results!

Send me pics to my social media – I would love to see them!

Simply DM me on Instagram or Facebook your fab costumes or email me at andrea@andrearowe.com.au

And if you are still stuck – check out my ideas for Jetty Jumping costumes too!
