National Simultaneous Storytime

Each year, at the same time around the country, a picture book by an Australian author and illustrator is shared by millions of children across libraries, kinders, daycares, schools and family homes. It is a joyful event that promotes the value of reading.

This year, National Simultaneous Storytime takes place on Wednesday 21st May. We invite you to join us to share the beautiful book, “The Truck Cat”, written by Melbourne author Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell.
