Quick Reads, the life-changing scheme tackling the UK’s shocking adult literary crisis, are the way forward to encourage people to read. I love the short books in the 2021 series including best-selling London authors Caitlin Moran, Louise Candlish and Khurrum Rahman among others.
Sunday Times best-seller and British Book Award winner Louise Candlish is renowned for her dark domestic thrillers and has written a powerful short story for this year’s Quick Reads collection – The Skylight. Londoner Louise is part of this year’s campaign because she has experienced first-hand the transformative power of books – she credits reading for setting her on the right path when she was ‘young and adrift’ and discovered books at a free public library – ‘it means such a lot to me to be a part of literacy campaign that really does change lives.’

Today DK brings out a lovely Summer picture book written by Zoe Armstrong and illustrated by Sara Ugolotti, Up In The Air. This wonderful children’s illustrated book celebrates the nature around and above us, encouraging children to look, listen, and take notice with a mix of drawings and nature photos. It could be defined as a biology compendium for very young children. Useful for primary school pupils to digest information in a very fun way.
