Here's one of Margaret's favourite books for young children.

First published in 1978, Each Peach Pear Plum brought together characters from nursery rhymes and fairytales, and it engaged children in a game of 'I Spy'.

A gem from Janet & Allan Ahlberg!

Think this is just an ordinary fireplace? Think again. If you're a fan, this fireplace is where Anne and Captain Wentworth snatch a private tête-à-tête during a ball in Persuasion (1818). Take a look at chapter 20 for the scene.

In Class 6 we have been enjoying reading Jenny McLachlan’s ‘Land of Roar’ together. As I read, they have been drawing pictures of what they imagine Roar to look like 📖

'Telling my story was helping others...'

Our campaigner John talks about what it was like to share his story with our community. Not only did he find that it helped others, it also helped him to come to terms with his own visible difference. 💜
