On the train very excited to be heading to the Book Trust #ReadingRights event tomorrow! As an obsessive reader myself I want to do everything I can to support all children to love books. It’s never too early to start. You can even read to your bump!

Just had a Christmas treat as @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social was editing Today @ Radio 4 and it was all about children reading for pleasure (and health and wellbeing). Then even better the fab Alice Wiseman came on to explain why it is so important.

I talked about the importance of movement building, networking and convening and quoted the brilliant Paula Leonard asking 'what are the feet on which this work will land.'
