That's why our #ReadingTogether proposals explore what can be done to support children and families in the early years:

'I like my post. I don't get much post. I like reading a lot.'
We love getting feedback from children on what their #MagicOfBooks parcels mean to them!
It's not too late to donate £10 and help to spread a little joy this Christmas:

'That book might be the only gift a child may have at Christmas.'
Your donations to our #MagicOfBooks appeal make a real difference - and Annie from Our House community centre has seen the impact.

So sad about the loss of Professor Benjamin Zephaniah today. What a bundle of energy he was, bringing joy to so many people’s lives with the power of his words. He was such a kind man too - he did 2 brilliant events for BookTrust on his birthday this year! British society is poorer without him.
It’s #NationalIllustrationDay today. I’ve been trying to think back to which illustrators are most evocative of my childhood. Quentin Blake, obviously. Hergé. Scarry. The Ladybird illustrators, numerous books of facts, particularly cutaways and drawings full of detail.
