Wonderful article by Katherine Rundell about the joy and power of children’s books and about why we must do everything possible to encourage children to read for pleasure. Libraries and librarians are vital! #reading www.lrb.co.uk/the-paper/v4...

Early morning after a hoar frost. A view over ploughed fields, towards a village indicated by the outline of a church tower against a pale yellow sky.

Finally, finally reading this, prompted by BBC tv release but need a gentle reminder of the plot so far…..
Every single school should have a library & a librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER!

Me too today! 🥶Car to garage for MOT. Don’t usually peep out from duvet until 8.30
First post on this thing feels as strange as my first Twitter post. Awkward. Yet hopeful.
