Plant the seeds of imagination with the gift of books this May. For too many disadvantaged children, books are a luxury their family can’t afford. Just £3 a month from you today would help more children experience the joy of reading.

Lovely little reviews from little ones ...have a look at what they thought of #TheBestEidEver...my favourite..."I liked it when the mum kept saying ‘not yet’ because my mum always says that to me when it is Christmas and my birthday. I do not know a lot about Muslims and this book really helped me to understand their culture.” The @_Reading_Rocks_ 🥰 #InclusiveClassrooms #MirrorAndWindow #readingforpleasure @BloomsburyEd

Have you seen our latest #ReflectingRealities report? In 2022, 14% of main characters in children's books were racially minoritised, up from 1% in the first report! Our reports have been a key driver in the significant changes in children’s publishing: ow.ly/8JJc50Qcoy0

The tragic terrible news has come to me that Benjamin Zephaniah's family have announced that Benjamin has died. I'm devastated. I admired him, respected him, learnt from him, loved him. Love and condolences to the family and to all who loved him too.

This is a very sad news. He was such a force for good. On rejecting his OBE in 2003, he said: "Me? I thought, OBE me? Up yours, I thought. I get angry when I hear that word 'empire'; it reminds me of slavery, it reminds of thousands of years of brutality, it reminds me of how my foremothers were raped and my forefathers brutalised... Benjamin Zephaniah OBE – no way Mr Blair, no way Mrs Queen. I am profoundly anti-empire."

Very excited to see the ‘Reflecting Realities’ research now extending to a new @ace_national -funded Project on Disability representations in children’s books. And our fabulous book reviewer, disability campaigner, J Eaton, is joining the steering group!
