Libraries matter more than ever now! They embody a beautiful & brilliant idea that we must never stop defending. The idea that knowledge is free & belongs to EVERYONE. We all need to support our libraries & librarians - especially when people seek to ban books & free thinking. #libraries #books

Update: after one day, the Christmas tree lights are no more 😢 One of the little darlings chewed their way through the wire 🤦🏼‍♀️

"You can't tell the children there is no hope." James Baldwin
I never have been in despair about the world. I’ve been enraged by it. I don’t think I’m in despair. I can’t afford despair. I can’t tell my nephew, my niece. You can’t tell the children there’s no hope.

Leadership isn’t about having all the answers; it’s about asking the right questions and being brave enough to say, ‘I don’t know.’ Vulnerability is a vastly underrated quality - it builds trust and takes courage to do properly.

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.

Who to believe ? Dr. Jack Shonkoff at Harvard centre for the developing child or an anonymous Ofsted “research” report that references Ofsted’s own “research” and some studies that relate to adults rather than under 5s? Gosh it’s a dilemma…

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books
