The wait is over! The National Simultaneous Storytime book for 2025 is.... 'The Truck Cat' written by Deborah Frenkel, illustrated by Danny Snell and published by Hardie Grant Children's Publishing 🐈 '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 … #NSS2025 will take place on Wednesday 21 May 2025 and registrations are now open.
