Finished The Wrong Shoes ahead of our Staff Book Club next week. Gritty, emotive and relatable for young people today, I can understand why it has been nominated for so many awards. I will read it to my Year 6 class next term. Thank you to Tom Percival for this important read!

I've enjoyed exploring the history of Prinsengracht 263 in Amsterdam (the house that would go on to hide Anne Frank and her family). This beautiful information book makes us reflect on changing landscapes and how key events in history impacted every day people.
