National Simultaneous Storytime 2025

Peakhurst Public School's book-loving students participated in the 25th National Simultaneous Storytime on Wednesday the 21st of May.

The story chosen for this year was 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. Along with his human, Yacoub, 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 … “

Thank you students and teachers for joining in with the other 2.3+ million participants across Australia who all simultaneously enjoyed the story together.
