Book Week 2026: Symphony of Stories
Children’s Book Week runs from 22–28 August 2026. This year’s theme, Symphony of Stories, celebrates the colourful mix of characters, adventures and ideas that children discover through books.
The theme doesn’t mean children need to choose a music-related costume. They can dress as any favourite book character—from young wizards and curious explorers to storybook animals, fairytale favourites and wonderfully unusual characters. The best Book Week costume is often one connected to a story your child already knows and enjoys.
Looking for inspiration? Explore our latest Book Week costume guide for popular characters, easy ideas and suggestions for interpreting the 2026 theme.
Book Week Costumes from Creative Costumes
Creative Costumes has been helping Melbourne families prepare for Book Week and school costume parades since 1996. Our range includes Book Week costumes for kids, teachers and adults, along with wigs, hats, glasses, wands and other accessories that can help complete a character.
Shop online for delivery across Australia, or order for pickup from our Oakleigh store. Before choosing a costume, check your school’s parade date and allow time for delivery. We also recommend checking the individual size guide, particularly when ordering for growing children or adding warm layers underneath during winter.
