We are thrilled to be supporting the National Year of Reading, an initiative from in collaboration with

“Everyone knows reading expands worlds, sharpens minds and fuels creativity. But fewer of us are making time for it. It’s time for the nation to Go All In.”

Throughout 2026, we hope to inspire more people to make reading a regular part of their lives, and what better place to start than with the books that lay the foundations for a lifelong love of reading: children’s books.

Meet our incredible authors and illustrators, discover a host of unforgettable characters, and experience the magic that unfolds when you open a book.

Are you ready to Go All In in 2026?
