What is Book Club Day UK?
Book Club Day UK is a time to share the joy of being part of a book club, to encourage new clubs to form and to help support existing book clubs with their next meeting so that even more people will discover how book clubs build stronger, more connected communities.
b small is committed to encouraging all children to discover the joy of learning. A tiny, independent publisher specialising in creative non-fiction and language learning books, the award-winning team create books with high child appeal, ideal for all children up to 11 years old. Remember you can log in and then save the books to your TBR pile and hopefully this will help you select a book for an upcoming book club get together.
Meet the b small list with these selected picks!
