It's so important for children to see their family life reflected in books - and to see what other families might be like, too.

I was really pleased to be asked to write a short piece for @BigIssue about my first children’s novel, The Wrong Shoes and the themes within it. The full link to the article is below.
“Books enable us to see into lives we have no awareness of, and they also can reflect our own situations back at us, making us feel seen.” 📚
Author @TomPercivalsays explains how books can help children understand the crushing challenges of poverty. ⬇️

This book could easily have changed my life when I was at school. A guide book to possible futures. It’s excellent. As is @DanFreedman99.
