World Book Day reading for me and my eldest. When they said they wanted to read the Chronicles of Narnia I suggested we skip straight to 🦁🧙♀️🚪but they insisted we do them all. I can't wait for this one to be over 🙃

It's PJs at our school tomo for WBD. 4yo says her dinosaur dressing gown isn't acceptable amongst her friends. It would genuinely be less stressful to have to make a last minute character costume 🙃

Every secondary school in Scotland can now get an edition of Story Deck, our new card game tool for starting conversations about books.
We travelled to Forfar Academy to find out how Story Deck has helped to spark a love of reading in pupils there.

I really loved People Like Stars! ✨️💜 Patrice writes kids you believe in.
Once more, but with make up.
PEOPLE LIKE STARS, my new middle grade contemporary mystery is out today.
Three young people.
A stolen baby.
A family secret.
A grumpy tattooed woman of a certain age who definitely bears absolutely no resemblance to anyone I know. Or am.
