    The Children's Laureate

    The Children's Laureate is a well-known writer or illustrator of children's books, who is elected by a panel of judges to 'promote and encourage children's interest in books, reading and writing'. 

    For the 2019 to 2021 period, Cressida Cowell has been chosen as Children's Laureate. She is the bestselling author of the much loved 'How To Train Your Dragon' and 'The Wizards of Once' book series. 

    As part of Cressida's plans for her appointment to the role of Children’s Laureate, she wishes to ‘boost creative writing in schools and halt the decline of primary school libraries’. She also wants to encourage children to ‘read for the joy of it’ and to understand that it’s 'okay to put a book down if they’re not enjoying it’ - which is certainly sage advice. We look forward to seeing what she achieves in her new role and how this impacts our local libraries and schools.

Any nursery, primary, special and secondary school can sign up to the week via the BNF website – as of the 24th May 2019, 4473 nurseries and schools have done so. That’s 1.9 million children!

    Once signed up, your institute will have access to a variety of age-specific resources to use not only this week, but all year round. This year, the BNF have chosen to focus on breakfast, eating 5 a day, hydration, activity and sleep.
