Hard to think of a time when empathy has been more crucial. The Empathy Day Festival is a stunning June initiative, using the power of books, authors and illustrators to help us all understand each other better. Such creative children's activity! PLEASE GET INVOLVED.

Great to hear BBC Radio 4 Today praise the value of libraries. Librarian Jennifer Horan & library volunteer Jenny Barrie explain the great ways they encourage reading outside school term. Loans are up & lots of creative activity for all ages. YLG Committee bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… (2:53)

👣 Taking the Long Way Home by Jake Hope, illus. by Brian Fitzgerald Using all five senses and a dash of imagination, the ordinary walk back from school becomes a super-sized adventure!

🦖Dinoknights: Extinction by Jeff Norton, illus. by Jeff Crosby. A new title in this fast-paced fantasy chapter book series sees Henry Fairchild set off to find his lost parents, but get caught up in a battle to save the environment of the dinosaurs.

And publishing in paperback, A Seed Grows by Antoinette Portis 🌻 Understand how a seed becomes a sunflower by peeking beneath the soil and wait patiently as winding roots grow, a stalk inches out of the earth, and eventually new seeds emerge among blooming petals.

Please share!
