When you're not sure whether it's going to be raining or sunny, it makes sense to always have a book to hand! If you need some ideas of what to read, then check out the ones that we read last month in our April recommendations post below.

Video description:
Beth O’Brien talks about discrimination in Feather Vane. The video ends with an animation of the book cover, against a backdrop of forest vines and floating feathers.
