Word of the day is ‘hingum-tringum’: 19th-century Scots for feeling feeble or barely presentable, and just about hanging together.

READING FOR PLEASURE has such a powerful impact on kids, it should be at the heart of everything you do with them, every single day. Always show how them how much YOU love books. Read books to them, talk about books with them, help them find books to love - and it will change their lives! #literacy

Why do books matter so much? Because books can open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented. #BookSky

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books
