National Simultaneous Storytime with the Feelix Library

Every year, millions of children across the country gather with teachers, family and friends to read the same book, on the same day, creating a sense of community from a shared love of reading.

This year, the chosen book was The Truck Cat, a delightfully heartwarming tale about a cat who travels around Australia with a lonely truck driver, until one day he chases a butterfly...

The Vision Australia community shared a unique online Storytime, enhanced with audio descriptions of the wonderful illustrations of Truck Cat’s travels throughout Australia. This was a fully accessible event for blind and low vision children.
