The perfect trio!
If my local Waterstones had a café alongside its excellent book selection and brand new air conditioning, I'd probably just stay in there all day...
Oh wait. Guess I might just do that anyway.

One of my fave #MosaicMonday floors may look a bit like linoleum from a 1950s kitchen but is in fact a C1 BC mosaic carpet of white tesserae w irregular inserts of coloured marble. Very apt for a luxurious #Roman salon w frescos of the sanctuary of Apollo.

Shared reading has lifelong benefits.
But our research shows that children whose parents or carers like reading themselves are more likely to develop a love of reading.
That's why it's so important we support families to share stories together:

Sometimes people tell me that they bought a picturebook because of #NewIllustrationOfTheDay. I love to hear when this happens. If you have bought a picturebook as a result of seeing an image on my social media, do please respond here with the name of the book. Thanks. (Also helpful to share this.)

Reading to children after they can read to themselves.
Thing I hear so often as a bookseller is "oh no, they read to themselves"
How are they to learn more and feel more confident about words if they're not hearing them?
I reckon aim for 12 yrs old.
And start from first days of life.

Parents and educators - there are a lot of discussions in publishing about how to improve reading for pleasure. Is there anything you wish publishing would do more of? Or just understand about kids and reading? Any insights from teaching/parenting of what gets kids reading? #KidLitUK #Edusky #KidLit
