Finished World Book Week with boxing up school orders. #kidlituk
It's been a magical World Book Day! We've given away over 2000 free World Book Day books over the past couple of weeks, we met a Gruffalo today, and a dear person has made magic happen for a local school.
1 million children don't own books. Let's change that!
#WorldBookDay
However you celebrate tomorrow, enjoy! β€οΈ
Dressing up can be fun, but it's not the primary purpose of World Book Day. WBD is about celebrating books and getting them into the hands of children.
Don't panic if you haven't sorted a costume! Many characters are everyday children. Greg from Wimpy Kid - shorts and t-shirt!

Β£22.78 to go to hit my fundraising target for BookTrust and a long run to do this morning. Can I get there before I get back? π€

Sunday thought: reading for fun is different for everyone. We love fiction, others love to read facts. Factopia is a brilliant World Book Day book and it's been a joy seeing how popular it has been - it's accessible and fun, and children love to read facts! β€οΈ #kidlituk

With this year being the National Year of Reading, next weekβs #WorldBookDay feels particularly celebratory.
For #KidsBooksFriday this week what great kids books, new and old, will you be reading, talking about and sharing with kids this coming week?

NGL, I'm incredibly excited to read Cinnamon Crumb: Baking Detective by @harrywoodgate.bsky.social! Publishing in September, it promises mystery, adventure, cosiness and tasty treats!

With World Book Day just round the corner Iβve seen quite a few teachers asking about good books to share in assembly.
For this weekβs #KidsBooksFriday, what books do you think work well across age groups and/or with a mixed group of kids?

Another gem from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social today. A graphic-novel style picture book about hope, healing and the importance of nature.
Yeah, collected Endgame by @melindasalisbury.com and @barringtonstoke.bsky.social from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social such a great series that highlights so many important issues with a fantastic range of relatable characters
Which World Book Day book are you most excited to read this year?
Thanks!

The slightly tired face of a bookseller who has managed her long run this morning after seeing off a chest infection.
I didn't expect to be so close to my fundraising target for BookTrust in February. For the Year of Reading, they are the perfect charity to run for in the London Marathon and your support has helped so much!
Not far to go now...!

A bookseller about to be late because she's utterly engrossed in Survival Show by @junodawson.bsky.social, an utterly gripping YA dystopian thriller, Popstars meets Hunger Games meets Big Brother and I am obsessed.
Publishes April.
Books for children should never be considered as secondary to books for grown-ups. They are the most important of them all! β€οΈ

A sofa full of books from @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social - some I'd forgotten I'd pre-ordered / ordered online, a couple of sale items, a shiny bookshelf notebook, and a big pile of additional gems. I'll add follow up post(s) to give a list. Always delightful to visit π₯°
