It's #WorldBookDay, but did you know that reading can make a particular difference to children in kinship care, foster care and adoption? Find out how in our new film #StoriesThatConnectUs, which features the words of real families. Watch now: bit.ly/3MKWKtY

An illustration of a woman and child cuddling inside a book. Dark blue text on a yellow background says stories that connect us - the power of shared reading for children in foster care, kinship care and adoption.

It's important to write hand-written letters to your friends when you need to send them something. Ideally while doing a bit. Maybe you're a union soldier, separated from your ladylove. Maybe a hot air balloon operator. We mustn't let the realities of today restrain the nonsense within us.
