Kids who READ FOR PLEASURE do better in every way than kids who don't. So whatever else you do, never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop giving them ways to understand the world, and everyone in it. #literacy

If you are someone who usually comes to our @thebookseller Children's Conference, would you rather come to an in-person or online event?

On a day for the history books, @TheAmandaGorman delivered a poem that more than met the moment. Young people like her are proof that "there is always light, if only we're brave enough to see it; if only we're brave enough to be it."

I really do believe every child can be a reader. Whoever you are, whatever you love, there's a book for you out there. So if you haven't yet found your favourite – KEEP READING! It could be the one you open next... #literacy

If I was in charge, I'd declare this A YEAR OF READING FOR PLEASURE. Forget about tests & exams. Let kids discover the joy of reading for the fun of it, losing yourself in the infinite worlds of the imagination. Once you read for pleasure, everything else will follow! #literacy

YOU CAN NEVER BE TOO OLD FOR CHILDREN'S BOOKS! The books we call "children's books" are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They are books for everyone – so you're allowed to read them & love them at any age!

Very interesting conversation with James Daunt just now on the second lockdown in England - says he was surprised Gov is allowing click n collect, but reckons it could be a game-changer for the chain this time around. Story to follow . . .
