It’s International Children’s Book Day! I love reading children’s books. For me, they are the perfect way to escape the mehs coming at us all the time. As a kid I loved to read, and I want to provide that escapism for children today. #ICBD #InternationalChildrensBookDay

Urgent and essential. Read and act.

There are some things that I wish I could go back and tell younger me. Like the fact that the scribbling of stories in my room would one day end up with a school putting my book on their stairs - alongside such classics. What a lovely way to end the week. Thank you St Columbkille!

Lovely quotes from lovely authors. THANK YOU! 💚🍎 @barringtonstoke.bsky.social #RichardJohnson
