📖 Our latest #BookoftheWeek is Birdie by @jprosewriter, published by @AndersenPress.

🐴 In our Q&A, we talk to JP Rose about her own bonds with horses, whether she's always wanted to be a writer and what she'd tell her childhood self.

My girls, adopted from foster care, arrived with few possessions, apart from a box of books they'd each been given by @Booktrust. These books, read together, became our first shared memories. Spread the joy of reading by donating this Christmas:

I’m on the hunt, for a job which makes the most of my skills (library and digital literacy) but also excites and stretches me.
I’d love to do another Library From Scratch and I’d especially love to work in a Primary/Prep school.
Preferably starting in 2025.
DM me 😊
