What a great day. Such a privilege to talk to future leaders about the importance of choosing to read. Always take every opportunity to share a book and The Bridges by Tom Percival is a great one to provoke reflection about the difference books make. #readingforpleasure #ourfp #readingchangeslives
At this evening’s OU Reading for Pleasure newsletter, I shared the lovely picture book, ‘It fell from the sky.’ The spider makes a few mistakes. Will he learn from them? #picturebooks #ourfp
