Day 19: Celebrating #IndieBookshopWeek

Today is the start of Independent Bookshop Week, and the culmination of our #PhotoChallenge.
Normally, IBW would be spent visiting schools and nurseries and playgroups and generally being out and about bringing you fun books and event activities.
Just because we can't get out to you, doesn't mean the fun stops!
We'll be uploading and sharing activities and book links all week, so please like or follow us!
We also have several of our #HighFiveForBookshops vouchers left - one per family - which will get you a FREE £5 Book Token (to spend at #NickelBooks or any local independent bookshop), so please contact me to get your code!
