National Simultaneous Storytime 2026

Join us for National Simultaneous Storytime 2026 (NSS) as we come together to read Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, illustrated by Jake Minton and published by Little Book Press. Cheer for Luna Roo as she finds her inner strength on the field in this energetic underdog story!

NSS is one of the Australia’s most beloved annual reading events, bringing together millions of children, families, libraries, schools and early learning centres to share the same story, at the same time, right across Australia. It’s a joyful celebration of reading, literacy, community – and a reminder of the essential role libraries play in nurturing learning, connection and a love of stories. NSS 2026 will take place at Muswellbrook and Denman Libraries.

Luna Roo the Kangaroo Baller delivers a high-energy story that will have you cheering like you’re in the stands! Luna leaves nothing on the pitch as she steps up to lead FC Outback in a thrilling face-off against Bush United, learning to silence her doubts, believe in her skills and trust her teammates.
