For April we are highlighting 2 special children's books: one which takes children on a lovely nature walk by the fabulous jonny lambert DK Books UK, the other a beautiful & thoughtful book by the wonderful Zana Fraillon Chicken House. Free to reserve: tinyurl.com/3n57hrwh

Absolutely loved this book written by Zana Fraillon - illustrated by Stephen Michael King
Hettie is the girl I was and Ada (cranky, obtuse and interesting) is the older woman I aspire to be !!!
Heart felt story of love, community, friendship and grief
Thanks for the early read

We’re all devastated by the scenes coming out of Gaza and the suffering disproportionately borne by children.

No child should experience what these children are going through.

But what can we do?

We’re so glad you asked…👇🧵

A lovely tale that draws the reader into the rhythms of the canine mind. Scruffity is an adorable character and we are sure our subscribing schools will love him.

There are not many things we can do, but this is one of them. If you are able to, donate to the Children in Gaza appeal now. No matter what you believe about this conflict, children should never be the ones made to suffer.

The world is waging war on its children, in an obscene mockery of international law theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

How do you get kids to love reading? Let them READ FOR PLEASURE. Let them choose what to read. Let them enjoy the stories, the pictures, the words. Talk to them about what they enjoy, always let it be fun. And never, ever make reading a punishment! #literacy
