Library News with Mrs Hewitt

Last week,  the children took part in National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS). This year's book was "Bowerbird Blues" by Aura Parker. Organized annually by the Australian Library and Information Association, this event features a picture book written and illustrated by an Australian author, read simultaneously in various locations such as libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, and bookshops across the country. Now in its 24th year, NSS aims to promote the value of reading and literacy through an Australian children's book that explores age-appropriate themes.

Aura Parker's new picture book features a beautiful bowerbird on a quest for blue! This touching story of longing and connection follows the bowerbird as he journeys across the sea, sky, and city. Along the way, he swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, filling his bower with a mix of natural and unnatural objects. Eventually, his efforts attract something greater and more fulfilling than he could have ever imagined.
