🥤 £3 is an iced-coffee or a book for a disadvantaged family to encourage reading with their young ones.
🍕 A £15 pizza? Or you could gift 9 pre-school children living in women's refuge centres their own book pack.
Set up a small monthly gift today and spread joy this Summer.

A community coming together is a beautiful sight.
We cannot say thank you enough to the customers and friends of the bookshop who came out this morning to help us move boxes of books to our new shop. You are all incredible!
We can't wait to welcome everyone on Friday from 2pm!

"Benjamin Zephaniah had so many strings to his bow, but his work for children and his commitment to all children having the opportunity to become readers was really deep."

This morning we were out delivering books to our Home Library customers around the mainland of #Orkney.
This was Newark in Deerness this morning. We love the way the low winter sun gently illuminates the landscape, and shows just how much the van needs a wash. ❤️📚

That is awesome to hear. Please tell your son he is a true ninja reader! I work closely with @BarringtonStoke to create engaging and accessible books. He may like to try Gamer next. (Pls DM with your address if you'd like a signed poster for him)
@YoungSamurai hello! My 9yo son who has dyslexia would like you know he loves your books especially Shadow Warriors. He can’t stop reading them! He’s on chapter 5 of SPEAR now
