Great opportunity for any classes with Jacqueline Wilson fans👇👇

As part of the National Year of Reading, EmpathyLab and Penguin Random House Children have teamed up to deliver a live author talk with Jacqueline Wilson! 📖

During the event pupils will hear Jacqueline Wilson read from her new book, share ideas about the power of reading, and have a chance to ask questions.

Her new book is a funny and hopeful story of one girl’s resilience. When her mum gets in trouble, Esme is placed in foster care in this heartwarming story about finding your way through challenges.

The event is on 14 October, 2pm - 2.45pm, is open to schools, libraries, community groups and home educators everywhere!

We've got a generational rivalry going on in the SLS team. It's all facts (no cap)-but which tactic actually makes you want to put down your avocado toast or get off TikTok for long enough to book one of our workshops? 🤔

Reading by stealth... We decided that the children participating in our "Outstandingly Happy Library Project" should have a book to lean on instead of a clipboard... And our cunning plan worked because we saw more than half of the children reading their "clipboard substitute" and chatting to the people next to them about it. ❤️ Sometimes, little things can make a big difference! We're all set up to try it again tomorrow! 📖📖
