“… if you are under three you think a bookshop is your house, and so of course you want to be read a book that you already know… “ that’s an astute a observation and probably can be the issue in many a situation…

That was me at the kids’ section at the big bookstore where my dad works!

So cute! Having a dad who works at a bookstore = the dream!

He still works there and it’s still magical!

I was eight when I first heard of the idea that there were ‘boy books’ and ‘girl books’, and thought it was totally bizarre!

It is bizarre! I wish I could shield children from that realisation for longer…

National Year of Reading! That sounds so wonderful, though I believe that should be every year 😃 and I loved the bit about Taylor Swift!

Hi Emma, how lovely to join you for such a nice day at work! Do you have any recommendations for books about having a stutter or finding your voice to speak up? Kids current ages are 4 and 8 but any age would be fine! Thank you.
