Event Description

Join thousands of children in libraries, schools, kindergartens and childcare centres around Australia as we all read the same book at the very same time. This year’s National Simultaneous Storytime book is Luna Roo: The Kangaroo Baller, written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, and illustrated by Jake Minton. It follows the spirited kangaroo Luna and her friends as they chase their football dreams across the outback, blending action, teamwork and fun to inspire young readers.
