I had a lovely time BarnesKidsLitFest today. The event was sold out. Waterstones sold out of Hunt for the Golden Scarabs, and all the readers I met were wonderful. Huge thanks goes to all the unpaid organisers & volunteers who care so much about inspiring children to read. 🥰📚

The weekend program at BarnesKidsLitFest is there for bookish joy but it also raises money for the free (and brilliant) schools events. If you can spare a few quid, please do support those events here! donate.stripe.com/6oEg17d8SbRL5v…
