Reading is the greatest gift we can give a child. Books open the world to them in a way that nothing else can. It can shape and form how they see the world, others, and themselves. Happy #WorldBookDay

Everdark is a wonderful #WorldBookDay story! The freedom of Abi’s imagined world & the way she uses language to conjure it, is a joy. & nobody captures that wobbly line between a child’s bravery & their vulnerability better than @moontrug. A funny, moving & magically alive book!
Some really great resources on the theme of conservation & the environment on the @HachetteSchools website, written by @_Reading_Rocks_ + notes by us on these x2 lovely books by @J_T_Butterworth
