If you want kids to love reading - LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! The books we love when we're young are the ones that make us readers, and choice is a right that every reader should have. Never take it away from them! #literacy #reading #kidlit #books

(Art: Quentin Blake)
The Rights Of The Reader by Daniel Pennac, illustrated by Quentin Blake. 1. The right not to read. 2. The right to skip. 3. The right not to finish a book. 4. The right to read it again. 5. The right to read anything. 6. The right to mistake a book for real life. 7. The right to read anywhere. 8. The right to dip in. 9. The right to read out loud. 10. The right to be quiet.

We constantly wrestle these 2 conflicting instincts: to express ourselves & be seen by others and the part of ourselves that is afraid of how we’ll be treated. To shrink or expand? - Women Living Deliciously, Florence Given

Captains log... I have returned to my edits! After a fortnight of mostly not being dressed. Also I have had two bonfires today, and a further, unofficial fire in the kitchen. Oop.

Don't read this C ♥️

My banned books bring all the kids to my library
and they're like can we take them home?
when I read them I don't feel alone
You can read them for no charge
and they're like this is no mirage
My banned books bring all the kids to my library
Damn right they are here for you
Take many, not just a few!

If you care about books and reading - here's an article I just wrote for The Bookseller magazine about the lack of media coverage for children's books, the disastrous loss of awards - and a brand new one that gives me hope! Please do read & share:
