Why do books matter? Because books open eyes & hearts & minds. They can show us the world in a different light, helping us imagine other lives. Books can connect us, bringing us together, building bridges in a world of walls. They are the greatest empathy engines ever invented.

What an amazing two days we have had with Smriti Halls. Assemblies in four partner schools, four parent sessions, many books dedicated and signed, a coffee morning with our volunteers and lots of talk about the power of reading. Thank you Julia Rausing Trust for making this possible.

Ronald Ross children in KS2 enjoyed an amazing performance and workshop of Romeo and Juliet, performed by the Polka Theatre. The acting was superb and Shakespeare's modern twist was captivating!

We had a wonderful time Hillbrook Primary School with the legendary SF Said last week thanks to the support from Julia Rausing Trust. Parents and children enjoyed an incredibly interesting and inspiring assembly and the queue to meet him after school and get books signed was very long!

We had the pleasure of hosting a very special author Heathmere Primary School with the utterly inspiring author, women's and refugee rights activist onjali rauf. Parents, children and staff learnt why she wrote her first book 'The Boy at the Back of the Class.' A morning never to forget!

People sometimes say kids don't read any more. But as a children's author who visits schools up & down the country every week, I can tell you that if you give kids access to books, help them find ones they want to read, and let them read for pleasure - THEY STILL LOVE READING!!!

READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. We need to help every single child enjoy all its lifelong benefits. That's why I'm excited to see the National Literacy Trust National Year Of Reading - and will support it in every way I can!

A thought for the holidays. If you want your kids to get ahead - let them READ FOR PLEASURE! Let them discover the joy of reading for the sheer fun of it, with no strings attached, choosing for themselves, losing themselves in imagination. Everything else will follow! #literacy
