Event Description

Join thousands of children in libraries, schools, kindergartens and childcare centres around Australia as we all read 'The Truck Cat' by Deborah Frenkel at the very same time. This year’s National Simultaneous Storytime title is a story about cats and humans, immigration and identity, and homes lost and found. Along with his human, Yacoub, Tinka travels roads wide and narrow, near and distant. But no matter how much they travel, home feels very far away – for both of them.
