National Simultaneous Storytime

Young families are invited to join in the fun of National Simultaneous Storytime – Australia’s biggest storytelling session! The same book will be read across Australia and New Zealand at the same time. How cool is that?!

This year, National Simultaneous Storytime will take place on Wednesday 27, May 2026. We’ll be reading Luna Roo: The Kangaroo Baller, by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton.

Rookie captain Luna Roo leaves nothing on the pitch as she leads FC Outback in a thrilling face-off against Bush United. Faced with a spider goalkeeper, snakes in attack and bubbling nerves, Luna must trust her skills and her teammates to soar to victory.

Written by football veterans Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, Luna Roo captures all the intense excitement of the game, with a heartwarming message that courage and determination are a winning combination.

Stay tuned for details on which libraries will be participating.
