Quite literally, a dream come true. To be part of the @WorldBookDayUK £1/€1.50 line-up is one of the highlights of my career to date. World Book Day exists to put the joy back into reading & I hope Bear Rescue does exactly that. Get those BEAR outfits ready! 🐻❄️🥳

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 @Literacy_Trust National Year Of Reading - and will support it in every way I can!
Big news! 2026 has officially been announced as the National Year of Reading by @bphillipsonMP. We’re proud to join @educationgovuk to lead this national campaign to get the UK reading again. #NationalYearOfReading2026

If you want kids to love reading - show them how much YOU love reading! So read to them every day. Talk about the stories, the pictures; share the whole experience. And always give them time to read & choose for themselves. Reading for pleasure changes lives forever! #literacy

On the 5th anniversary of the publication of A Kind of Spark, former Bibliobuzz Alexandra Palace Children's Book Award winner (library award) the brilliant Elle McNicoll is now a fully established author, with TV show credits, too! @BooksandChokers @_KnightsOf @MacmillanKidsUK
The wonderful Elle McNicoll is keeping over 500 schoolchildren engaged as she discusses diversity and neurodiversity in books. It's so pleasing to see how aware the children are! @BooksandChokers @kidslitfest @_KnightsOf @MacmillanKidsUK
