When I was in Year 2 in the UK – so aged six or seven, I finally got to the end, motivated by the fact that once you were done, you were allowed to go by yourself to the school library and choose your own books to read. In the UK, most children work their way through a guided reading scheme of formulaic books of gently increasing difficulty as they learn to read. That love for the potential and magic of books on shelves was rooted in me, and grew into my debut novel, Pages & Co.: The Bookwanderers. They may have been small but they were carefully tended, and most importantly, they let me explore a world far bigger than my own. ![]() Growing up, I was fortunate enough to have access to both public and school libraries.
