Zart is enchanted by the spellbinding allure of Children’s Book Week®!

In our continued partnership with the CBCA, Zart has conjured up a curriculum-enriching spell book full with art activities and classroom links.
This publication is expanded by an onsite and online workshops adventure – all under the fantastical theme, ‘Reading is Magic’!

Build a bridge between the art of creation and the realm of tales, empowering young sorcerers to delve deeper into the mystical world of stories and have them casting spells of insight, emotion, and imagination to reshape their understanding of the universe.

Zart acts as guide on this spellbinding escapade by supporting art mentors, classroom enchanters, and library guardians and lore keepers in nurturing a passion for literature. Join us and celebrate the mystical bond that intertwines art and the written word, kindling the magical flames of literacy in the hearts of our eager young apprentices.
