Tumut Library
National Simultaneous Storytime is an Australia-wide storytime, celebrating its 25th year in 2025.
Last year more than 2.3 million children from over 20,000 locations joined together to read Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker.
This year’s book is The Truck Cat, written by Deborah Frenkel and illustrated by Danny Snell.
The Truck Cat is a story about cats and humans, immigration and identity, and homes lost and found. With her human, 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. When Tinka and Yacoub are unexpectedly separated, they are determined to find their way back to each other – and, in doing so, might find more than they expected …
“The Truck Cat is a story that’s all about belonging and connection” says the book’s author Deborah Frenkel “so it’s an absolute thrill that this book will connect so many readers through National Simultaneous Storytime in 2025. I’m enormously honoured on Tinka the cat’s behalf!”
Come along to the library to listen to the story and do a craft activity.
