📚🌳 Yesterday I hid some books for my Look for a Book around the Marble Run at Wendover Woods!

A huge thank you to my generous sponsor, Jo Walbrin, for helping make it happen. 💛

I know at least two families found books because I spotted them and had a little chat with them — and it’s always SO lovely to see how excited children get when they discover a lovely book! 🥰📖

I hid 6 more books yesterday… did you find one? Let me know! 👀

And I’ve got more books ready to be hidden, so stay tuned…! 🌳📚✨

💜 Can I ask a favour…?

If you’ve bought a book from me, ordered for delivery, found the perfect book with a little help, or seen/benefitted the work I do with schools and nurseries, I’d be really grateful if you’d consider leaving me a review.

I know reviews can feel like a small thing, but for a small independent business, they really do make a difference.

They help other people find me when they’re looking for books, and that helps me keep doing what I do - from helping you find just the right book, to offering free delivery and working with schools to get books into the hands of more children.

You don’t need to write anything fancy. Just a few words about your experience is genuinely helpful.

Thank you for supporting my little business in all the ways you do. It really does matter. 💜📚🫎

📚✨ From meeting the author… to getting my hands on her newest book!

Back in January, I had the absolute pleasure of meeting Jenny Pearson at Usborne’s Leadership Live conference.

She spoke to us about the books she’s written and the workshops she runs in schools, and honestly… she was so funny, inspiring and full of enthusiasm! 😍

She also gave us a little sneak peek at one of her upcoming releases, and it sounded SO good that I’ve been waiting for it ever since!

So imagine my excitement when I opened my new releases pack this week and found a copy waiting for me! 🥹📖

I think this one is going to be calling my name for a cosy afternoon on the sofa… although I suspect my daughter will be far more interested in opening the rest of my delivery! 😂

And THIS is one of the things I love about being an Usborne Partner. Getting to discover new books, meet authors and be among the first to get my hands on new releases is such a fun part of the job. ❤️

Fancy being part of it too?

If you love books, would like something flexible around family life and fancy finding out what being an Usborne Partner is really like, send me a message or comment below and I’d be happy to have a chat - no pressure, just information. 🦌📚
