ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION

Providing Primary Schools with inclusive and representative books that reflect the diversity of our population. Helping more children to see themselves in the books they read, helping all children to better understand the world and their place in it. When a child falls in in love with reading they are more likely to succeed academically, more likely to fulfil their potential and achieve their dreams. We want to give every child the chance to discover a love for books.
