Wonderful kids and teens roundup via @imogenrw.bsky.social #kidlituk www.theguardian.com/books/2025/m...

A wonderful middle grade book about a young teen with autism dealing with siblings, bullies and life in general. A wonderful main character and one or two (actually, several) awful ones that made me mad! Beautifully written and a must for a school library. ##kidlitUK 💙📚

Colourful spring crocus flowers in our local park

Reading has life-changing benefits but the reality is that fewer children are picking up books for fun. Only 1 in 3 children in the UK enjoy reading The good news is we can help change this! 🙌🏼 We asked children what they need from grown-ups to support them to read for fun. Here’s what they said;
