QUESTION EVERYTHING • BE BRAVE • THINK FOR YOURSELF I’m feeling the pressure to write something clever and profound here but I think that might be one of the problems with the publishing industry: the need to get things right! Maybe it’s okay to stop talking and just try something that might be wrong or makes you look stupid. The major theme of 2020 has been opening our eyes to the inequity in our society. This comes with a side of accepting that if we are only just opening our eyes now then we’ve had them closed all along. So, what can my platform and I do to help? Well, over the past year or two, we’ve been focussed on the idea of providing children with critical literacy skills through our books. So we’re going to carry on doing that whilst amplifying under-represented voices as much as we can through our social media channels and newsletter. What are critical literacy skills? The main idea is that we all need the skills to be able to understand information. Where is it from, who wrote it, is it old, is it new ... can we trust it? Skilling up young learners with these tools will allow them not only to become good learners but also to see the inequalities in our society more clearly and to do something about it. Sam
