Not enough people understand that a world where no one reads books is just as bad as a world without any books. Those who seek to make you illiterate don’t need to burn books. They just need to take away any interest in reading them.
Delighted to be taking part in this next weekend. Come along and join in the fun, activities and storytelling instagram.com/p/DK1XUYLN6RR/…

Not sure if I’m acting out Lttle Reed Riding Hood’s granny in this pic here….or if this is what I’ll feel like at the end of tomorrow after @WorldBookDayUK
