Our latest research shows that almost one million children in the UK won’t have a single book of their own at home this Christmas. Your generosity could give a child their very first book, and help them open up a lifetime of possibilities.

During the pandemic, children on free school meals suffered the most significant learning loss in reading. By donating to our Christmas appeal, you can help children fall in love with reading and build skills for their future. #ChangeAChildsLifeStory

Recommended reads displays can be so powerful, my favourite are the hand-written index-card type. You feel like you are uncovering a secret, it's personal and cosy. This seems so money-grabbing and soul-less.

[Jasmine Tucker @jasemily]

I really highly doubt that the booksellers here (who I'm sure are really well-read and passionate about books) actually would choose these as their favourites.

Last month #BirminghamStories hosted their My Commonwealth Story festival! 🏅🏃‍♀️📚

The event harnessed the buzz and excitement surrounding the #CommonwealthGames to motivate and inspire people of all ages to engage with literacy.

This is how it went #B2022. 👇

As a result I have felt alienated and intimidated by all things football since, and played into in the stereotype of the eye-rolling wife 'oh these boys and their football'. But I loved watching the lionesses and I can now feel myself unravelling all those unhelpful binaries.

[Jasmine Tucker @jasemily]

If I'd had the chance to play football even once at my girls comp school I might have enjoyed it and learned about teamwork in the process. It just was not on offer.
