Did you know that the Summer Reading Challenge isn’t just for 4- 11 year olds? Younger children can take part in their own mini challenge, and teachers and librarians can sign up online and read children’s books too! Here’s what this librarian has read so far:

New books are one of our favourite things, and recently arrived My Heart Was a Tree by Michael Morpurgo and Yuval Zommer is a gem. Full of poems, stories and art celebrating trees, it complements our other tree books perfectly.
