“A national reading culture cannot be rebuilt without accessible public libraries, well-supported teachers and investment in the people whose work brings books to life for children.”
Amen to this.
Have an amazing time!

It is important that when we capture data on 'reading' we make it clear to participants (especially children) that we mean all types of reading materials. This includes comics as well as on screen texts

The cover of The First Year by Matt Goodfellow and illustrated by Joe Todd Stanton. It shows four 11-year-old schoolchildren at a desk looking out of a window across a playground at the cityscape behind them.
If you liked The Final Year you will love this. Twice the size, twice the feels, all the beauty. I cried at least three times. An antidote to toxic masculinity and a must read for young boys.
