"Oh, what a shame you're 'just a children's bookshop."
We hear this all too often.
📚 Children and teens deserve spaces and shops for them
📚 Children's and YA books change lives.
It's not a shame we're a children's bookshop. It's a beautiful thing 💕

✨️NEW BOOK!!✨️
Book 6 of THE MATHS ADVENTURERS series is out on 5th June 2025!
When Beep and Boots notice that their library needs more books, they arrange a school fair to buy some more. Can they raise enough money to fill the library?

On Monday our instagram account was hacked and then deleted. We received a ransom note to recover it; obviously we couldn't and wouldn't pay, and therefore lost thousands of followers. Meta support was useless. But we're BACK with a new account: @littletollerbooks. Can you follow us there and share?

Also a brutal year for most writers who aren’t big names or celebs. If you can’t afford a book, take one out of a library, leave a review, share a post, leave sacrificial offerings to the publishing gods etc
Not sure people realise how hard it's been recently for artists to survive, or how deeply appreciated every single order is. If you can't buy something, it makes a huge difference just to share our work. If you can't share our work, a little sacrifice to the Old Gods on our behalf means a lot, too 💜

This is fantastic, particularly for working class writers who often come to writing later, with greater obstacles.
