Let's gather under the beautiful trees at the City Library on the front lawn and celebrate reading, books and play together this National Simultaneous Storytime.

During this session we will create our very own Bowerbird nest and learn what kind of items the Bowerbird likes to hide in there, I wonder what colour they will be? We will also do some bird watching.... will we spot a Bowerbird together in nature?

Dress up in your favourite blue clothes and make sure you bring a hat to this session.

About the book - Bowerbird Blues by Aura Parker:

I am a collector. Always looking, finding ... and keeping! Bowerbird loves blue. Magnificent cobalt. Brilliant, vibrant blue! But something is missing. What could it be? This new picture book from Aura Parker stars a beautiful bowerbird on the search for blue! It’s a moving story of longing and connection, that unfolds as the bowerbird’s search sends him soaring across the sea, sky and city. He swoops and snatches vibrant treasures for his collection, and soon his bower—a mix of natural and unnatural objects—attracts something greater and more fulfilling than he could ever have imagined.
