We are all unique and special but think what would could achieve together if we all supported each other. A beautiful picture book by Britta Teckentrup.

With the most sublime illustrations, Big is written by Vashti Harrison. It explores the impact of words in being cruel and destructive but also to comfort and give strength. Simply beautiful.

Welcome written by Alison Green has the familiar comfort of illustrations by Axel Scheffler. It is a book of friendship and how they can be created with love and kindness. Donations to Three Peas charity (supporting refugees in Europe) are given with every purchase.

It’s been a long time since I had the pleasure of sitting on the floor of a book shop. I had the loveliest time exploring. I came away with many books ready to share but these three blew me away. Sorry if I am late to the party…

First week of the hols means I find time to read for myself. Thanks @raesnape.bsky.social for recommending this book. The croquembouche would have been ended up on Cecelia’s head if I had been Piglet! An easy read and thoroughly enjoyable.

Amazing day with our Years 5 and 6. Cruise on the Thames, Pizza Hut and a tour/workshop in Parliament. For our little Leicestershire school, this was fantastic Personal Development for our children. Thank UK Parliament.

I am so looking forward to receiving mine.
