Well-meaning adults can easily crush a child's enthusiasm for reading by dismissing their choices, saying a book is no good. By all means introduce them to books you think are good - but let them READ FOR PLEASURE & they'll be readers forever! #literacy

The utterly brilliant @frankcottrell_b on the power of reading in the lives of children. Every word of this is true. Not just nice or lovely …it’s neuroscience!

Please can we have more peacemakers, healers, restorers, storytellers and lovers…

[The Cybersmile Foundation @CybersmileHQ]

It’s not you.

[The Cybersmile Foundation @CybersmileHQ]

Give yourself a little more credit. You deserve it.

[The Cybersmile Foundation @CybersmileHQ]

Don't let the negativity from the few make you lose faith in the world - there is love and beauty all around us if we just look for it!

[The Cybersmile Foundation @CybersmileHQ]

We hope you know how loved you are.

Never underestimate the power of a few nice words...

[Anthony Horowitz @AnthonyHorowitz]

Over 750,000 UK children do not have a library at their primary school. Supporting the #LibrariesForPrimaries campaign to get a library into every primary school is a non-brainer. It's like saying it would be good if all hospitals had medicine! https://t.co/uihS4PM4Px

People sometimes tell me kids don't read any more. As a children's author who visits classrooms & libraries up and down the country, I can tell you: KIDS STILL LOVE READING! Give them choice, help them find books they'll love, and they won't be able to stop reading! #literacy

[Wonderland Bookshop @Wonder_Bookshop]

"You're only a children's bookshop."

To that we say, there is nothing "only" about children's books.

Books for children and young people are magic. They change lives. They give children something that is theirs.

Children's books are magic ❤️

There was a gap in the rain, so we were able to sneak out into the woods. What did we find? Teddies? Nope, no teddy bears, today, (it's a bit wet for teddies, to be fair). But there were bluebells everywhere! 🙂 And everything smells soooooo good today. I wish I could share it.

Every single school should have a library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers & give them all the benefits of literacy! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay

I wonder if those chirps are the babies?

[C J Richie 🕵️✍️💙💙💙 @landoftheDoods]

Been watching out for baby birds. Caught the parents popping by but not on camera, yet. I need an invisibility suit. All the birds seem to be having a wild party outside at the moment!
