BookTrust (where I proudly serve as a Trustee) hosted the Reading Rights Summit recently. We were joined by special guests, the Mayor of Liverpool Steve Rotheram and Liverpudlian Frank Cottrell-Boyce, the Waterstones Children’s Laureate. The event was fittingly held in Liverpool, the birthplace of the first illustrated children’s book, The Butterfly’s Ball, and the Grasshopper’s Feast, written by William Roscoe in 1807.
BookTrust is the UK’s largest reading charity, dedicated to encouraging children to read for enjoyment. By inspiring a love of reading, the charity unlocks a wealth of skills, fosters a lifelong passion for books, and ultimately helps children learn to read, empowering them to find their place in a literate world.
