Join us with many others around the country in this annual event to read this year's book Luna Roo: the Kangaroo Baller.
National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held annually by the Australian Library and Information Association (ALIA) and each year, a picture book is chosen that is written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator.
The Museum is participating in this year's event as we share in the reading of the book Luna Roo: the Kangaroo Baller book written by Adam Jackson and Adrian Lloyd, and illustrated by Jake Minton. Get involved in fun activities afterwards!
About the book
Luna Roo is the rookie captain of FC Outback, preparing for her biggest match yet. As the game begins, she faces nerves, tough opponents and unexpected challenges — from spider goalkeepers to snake attackers. Through it all, Luna learns that trusting her skills and working with her team is what helps her succeed.
The bright illustrations and humorous animal characters keep young readers engaged, while the message of courage and determination resonates deeply with children.
