It is with great pleasure that we announce the continuation of our partnership with the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) in support of National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS)!
NSS is an annual event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy in libraries, classrooms, and communities around the country. The NSS book for 2026 is Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake A. Minton and published by Little Book Press.
Reading Australia Fellow Libby Baker, who wrote this year’s NSS resource for The Truck Cat, will reprise her role for Luna Roo by creating activities for both primary teachers and parents. The resource will be ready for the big event on 27 May 2026, so watch this space and don’t forget to register.
