In chapter 2023 of Guthrie St Primary School in Shepparton, Book Week was bigger and better than ever.
Students found themselves in a bind as to what to dress up as for the annual parade on Friday, August 25, but kids (and parents) didn’t buckle under the pressure of possibilities.
Guthrie St students produced fantastic costumes, and News photographer Rechelle Zammit was there to take pictures of the book-themed characters.
