Every year a picture book, written and illustrated by an Australian author and illustrator, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. Now in its 25th successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy, using an Australian children&#8217;s book that explores age-appropriate themes, and addresses key learning areas of the National Curriculum for Foundation to Year 6.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-39416 alignleft\" src=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/The-Truck-Cat-Book-Pic.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"315\" height=\"216\" srcset=\"https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/The-Truck-Cat-Book-Pic.jpg 315w, https:\/\/d1dfwahqlx324v.cloudfront.net\/uploads\/sites\/38\/2025\/05\/The-Truck-Cat-Book-Pic-219x150.jpg 219w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 315px) 100vw, 315px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The Junior School will celebrate the event by joining together in Daphne Line Hall on <strong>Wednesday 21 May 2025<\/strong> to read <em>The Truck Cat<\/em>.
