The Book Stop

Just a regular reminder that if you can't get to us in person, the next best thing is to order via our shopfront on Bookshop.org - a book website supporting your local indie bookshop (not billioinaires)! I've made a Gruffalo Granny and Friends list, with every Gruffalo-related book you could imagine! Check it out!

Oh the universal language of books!

Warmed the cockles of our hearts. Having Frank and Bert stay has been great, but this was the highlight for sure.

🐺 When I Was a Wolf

We had a wonderful morning when Liz Flanagan joined us to share her new book, When I Was a Wolf! Not only did we hear the first chapter, but we also had the chance to design our own animal lanterns, just like Jasmine in the story.

Taking inspiration from Hebden Bridge's Handmade Parade, this book explores how creativity can help to channel difficult feelings, and as it's published by dylexia-friendly publishers Barrington Stoke, it's a brilliantly accessible read for children aged 7+

Beautiful illustrations by Nikola Aronová bring the story to life, and we have a few signed copies left if you'd like one!

Thanks again, Liz! See you soon!
