@KateHeap1 @WelshDragonParr @KidsBloomsbury I loved this too. As an 80s teen living in Wales it meant a lot to me.

[MsMcCarthy Librarian @SRG_Library]

Loved the original storytelling in this book. Highly recommended to pupils in my school library.

Isn’t this a lovely idea. Though it is also lovely to be 10% kinder to everyone. Working in a school teaches new levels of compassion in general I think.

[Michael @MrMJWilliams]

As a school, we regularly select a pupil who needs ‘10% kinder’ from all staff - everyone makes the extra effort to be positive and warm for a young person having a hard time - we have really embraced this as a team, and it can make a huge difference for a child in a tough week.

So true. For my son it was #geronimostilton and #dogman

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

I believe that EVERY CHILD can be a reader. There is a book for everyone out there. Some kids haven't yet found that book; the one that starts them off, and lights the spark of #literacy. But once they do, they'll never stop - and it will change their lives forever.

[MsMcCarthy Librarian @SRG_Library]

https://t.co/tsDsFeKZSp I do hope there will be a list for children and teens. In the meantime here’s the Big Jubilee Reading list.

[Anne Thompson @Alibrarylady]

Hello children’s book lovers. It’s the last Reading Matters - children’s book newsletter of this term.
Lots of great book related links and reviews. I hope it’s helpful and you have a relaxing break. Happy reading!
