Today’s #SundayBedtimeStory choice.

Firstly, are you ok? I hope so. Also huns can you share, share, share my #LGBTQ inclusive kids’ book for #PrideMonth please?! Thank yew!

A lovely morning spent at my local bookshop doing some storytelling with my @TheBook_Train_ hat on for #IndieBookshopWeek. I also picked up this by @_lufraser & @SarahWarbie to read at future sessions which will be very popular I’m sure!

Our #bookmatchmonday picks for today featured central characters who dare to be different and challenge the status quo. I think we can all be a bit more Freddy and Ron! #childrensbooks
