Enjoying more time to run, read and generally catch up but forever passionate about children’s books and reading for pleasure

[Kathleen Toner @tfn_kathleen]

300 children in foster and kinship care have been gifted these beautiful Christmas books from @BookTrust this week.

Thank you to the team at Booktrust for generously providing these books to children who are part of the Letterbox Club this Christmas.

[Liz Canning @LizCanning2]

What joyful faces. This wonderful partnership between @soni_ltd and @BookTrustNI has encouraged hundreds of families to share books together.

Delighted to see the happy faces in the photos of the children in Kells & Connor Pre-School this week after we donated books to them through our
@BookTrustNI partnership which aims to promote a love of reading. We hope they enjoy them! https://t.co/NfBy0ZdH5i #CSR #Literacy
