Story Box Library: Anzac Day

BY STORY BOX LIBRARY


Watch Story Box Library’s dedicated Anzac Day story release and find promotional resources supporting your library programs to engage everyone in a love of reading!

 

 

Story Box Library wishes your library communities a fantastic holiday break, with exciting and creative programs to engage everyone in a love of reading!

 

 

 

 

This year’s dedicated Anzac Day story release, This Old Thing, can be found in Story Box Library’s digital collection now.

When a young boy is asked to bring an object to contribute to his class Anzac project, he finds all kinds of old things-some wildly exciting, others more confusing. But a faded, forgotten photograph of his great-great-grandfather makes sense of everything…

This Old Thing is written by Cassandra Webb, illustrated by Tony Flowers and read by Roby Favretto. Published by Scholastic Australia.

 

 

 

 

Upcoming release on 26 April, Katerina Cruickshanks is a joy-filled cheer of appreciation for loud, trouble-making, outrageous kids.

Katerina Cruickshanks is a wild child, a trickster, and a ringleader who shows us that there’s no such thing as being too much; it’s just a matter of finding the friends who will love you as you are.

Katerina Cruickshanks is created by Daniel Gray-Barnett and read by Paula Arundell. Published by Scribble.
