I've said this before, but it still needs saying. The books that we call 'children's books' are really books written for an audience that includes children, but excludes no-one. They're books for EVERYONE - not some lesser form of literature, but the most important books of all!

History has taught us again and again that antisemitism, Islamophobia, and all hate are connected.

We have to reject hate in every form.

Our hearts are with Israeli and Palestinian children and families affected by the crisis in the region. All children deserve a safe childhood free from violence and terror.
