A graphic in a greenish colour about the National Literacy Trust Primary Conference 2026. On the right we see three girls of about 8, two white, one Black, all sitting on beanbags and looking at an e-reader while one of them clutches a print book.  

The conference is on the 20th March at The British Library. It's called Beyond the book: Routes into reading. The graphic also has my name and job on: Louie Stowell, Children's author
