I've just read the world book day books, Bear Rescue by @HGold_author and Skandar and the secret element by @annabelwriter and both were an absolute delight!
Wonderful little stories that added a bit more depth and light to both of these wonderful authors worlds. Loved them!

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

Every school & every community needs a library & a librarian, to help every child find the books that will make them readers. Because those are the books that will change their lives - and maybe even save their lives! #SaveLibraries
