‘Why You Should Read Children’s Books, Even Though You Are So Old And Wise’ by Katherine Rundell.

Chucking this cheeky little book in. Only 63 pages long – it was a present – I read lots of teenage fiction.

Defy those who tell you to be serious. Cut shame off at the knees. Children’s books are not a hiding place, they are a seeking place. Go to children’s fiction to see the world with double eyes: your own, and those of your childhood self.
