Our #WorldBookDay 2026 £1/€1.50 book for INDEPENDENT READERS is 'Against All Odds' by Nathanael Lessore 📚⚽🎤
Noranto’s got football, his crew, and a big weekend ahead. Poetry? That’s not part of the plan… until it won’t leave him alone. A story about talent, pressure, and daring to dream bigger.

What a week for literacy 🤯
2026 is the National Year of Reading 📚 and the government committed to a library in every primary school by the end of this parliament.
Huge thanks to the brilliant children’s authors helping us to inspire more young readers!
Celebrating in style at the wonderful news from Number 11 !! EVERY primary school will now have a library of their own thanks to the Chancellor @RachelReevesMP @Literacy_Trust have been campaigning tirelessly for this boost to reading and I’m so happy (as you can see!)

Our word wizard with a giant heart, @frankcottrell_b & his band of merry readers @Booktrust produced a report that’s grim. The good news is we get to write the ending. We must help children develop a relationship with books, for their health & happiness.
