Huge congratulations to Dame Malorie Blackman and Dame Julia Donaldson! 👏

We are completely delighted to see these two former Waterstones being recognised in the King's Birthday Honours this year.

They have both done so much - and continue to do so much - to help every child discover a love of reading, and we are so grateful for their ongoing support of BookTrust.

We couldn't be happier to see that being celebrated at the highest level! ✨

As the pressure on families continues to build and services remain overstretched, let's work together to make sure that reading stays in the spotlight.

I am hosting a virtual England quiz on 11th June with the School Library Association (UK). On the day the tournament kicks off. The idea is to promote reading for pleasure through the game. It is free to members and non-members. Please join us. (Oh... and this is my brand new England book.)
