Russ the Story Bus

Each year, Russ the Story Bus visits over 8,000 children in Western Sydney and regional NSW. Russ the Story Bus has been visiting schools since 2014.

As part of a Russ the Story Bus visit, students can:  

• talk to the visiting children’s book author or illustrator

• discuss their favourite books with Festival staff and volunteers

Students will also enjoy taking part in an interactive talk presented by a children’s book author or illustrator. The speaker will share their love of books, discuss their craft, answer questions and inspire children to think creatively about reading, writing and storytelling.
