National Simultaneous Storytime (NSS) is held every year when a picture book, written and illustrated by Australian authors and illustrators, is read simultaneously in libraries, schools, pre-schools, childcare centres, family homes, bookshops and many other places around the country. 

Now in its 22nd successful year, it is a colourful, vibrant, fun event that aims to promote the value of reading and literacy. This year's book is Family Tree written by Josh Pyke and illustrated by Ronojoy Ghosh.
