About this event

  • 12 hours 45 minutes

National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is an important annual event that aims to encourage young children to read and enjoy books as well as teach them the value of literacy.

Each year an Australian title is chosen to showcase our talented Australian authors and illustrators. This year we will be reading Bowerbird Blues written and illustrated by Aura Parker.

Suitable for ages 2 years plus. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

About the book: I am a collector. Always looking, finding ... and keeping! Bowerbird loves BLUE. Magnificent cobalt. Brilliant, vibrant BLUE! But something is missing. What could it be? This picture book from Aura Parker stars a beautiful bowerbird on the search for BLUE! It’s a moving story of longing and connection, that unfolds as the bowerbird’s search sends him soaring across the sea, sky and city. He swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, and soon his bower—a mix of natural and unnatural objects—attracts something greater and more fulfilling than he could ever have imagined.
