Children at the preschool joined other kids across the country to sit down at the exact same time and read the book “I Got This Hat”, written by Jol and Kate Temple and illustrated by Jon Foye.
The wonderful world of hats, the major theme for the book, came alive at Pied Piper as children made hats of their very own to wear and take home.
National Simultaneous Storytime events were also held in Lithgow and Portland, where kids were read the story by notable names like Lithgow's Mayor, Maree Statham, among others.
Now in its 16th year, National Simultaneous Storytime takes an Australian children's book to promote literacy, the value of books and local writers and publishers.
