I think it’s a crisis that kids are growing up with no knowledge of Robin Hood & Merlin, Charlotte and Babar, Ratty and Badger and Long John Silver. In the words of Katherine Rundell, “We need to be infinitely more furious that there are children without books.”

I drew a picture of our bell tower here in Bovey Tracey! … Because if we can’t raise money to fix our tower, we’ll have to sell the bells and replace them with a recording of bells. As you can imagine, I’m gutted about this😳

Can you donate to #SaveBoveyBells?

No one believes me when I say this, but the decline in reading is already having dire consequences for art & culture. The media you loved in your youth—shows, albums, films—was made by artists who were widely read. You will not have that quality of art in a post-literate world.

Today's Read to the Beat! recommendation is one of my favourite verse novels of recent years, In the Key of Code by Aimee Lucido. Emmy has moved to a new school, and starts to connect through coding and music.

I love how it champions girls in STEM. Recommended for Years 5-7.
