Bespoke Children's Book Consultations and Book Clubs
'Reading allows children to discover new worlds, meet new people and learn about the past, while sparking imaginations, stimulating critical thinking and helping children develop empathy.'
The National Literacy Trust.
We are all aware of how vital reading is for our children. However, it can often be hard to find books that children really enjoy and that make them enthusiastic to read more. My bespoke children's book consultations will help you find books that are right for your child.
Many children have discovered their love for reading through my Book Clubs where they can engage in positive discussion and debate about books in a forum where they feel their opinion really matters.
Tellmetheirstory consultations are aimed at parents with children in KS2 or KS3 and I offer Book Club courses for children in Years 4 to 8.
Bespoke children's book consultations
Would you like your child to engage more with reading? Perhaps you'd like them to sample new authors or genres but don't know what to choose? Maybe you'd like to find books that will improve their comprehension and vocabulary skills for the 11+ or beyond? Or maybe you have an insatiable bookworm looking for more challenging reads?
The impact of screens and social media has made it harder than ever to engage teenagers with reading, and you might be looking to reignite their interest.
Whatever your specific needs, I am here to help you find books that will inspire your child or teenager to read. Books they really won't want to put down.
Join me in a bespoke book recommendation consultation and you can be confident that your child's reading journey, whatever their age, will be as stimulating and enjoyable as it can be.
Testimonials
How does it work?
Join me for an hour long consultation.
We’ll spend some time discussing your child's likes and dislikes before talking about books and authors that will fulfil your child's reading needs going forwards.
I have an original, diverse and lovely collection of books, all of which will be available for us to refer to, much like they would be in a bookshop.
After the consultation I will provide you with a list of recommended books based on our discussions. Please note, I aim to read every single book I recommend!
I am also more than happy to purchase and deliver recommended books to you, if you find this additional service helpful.
Please do note that in order to make this process as open, efficient and useful as possible, these consultations will be child free.

The cost of a bespoke children's book consultation is £45. This includes a one hour zoom or face to face consultation, all preparatory work and a detailed summary of our discussions.
Although this is not a bookshop, I am happy to purchase and deliver recommended books to you, if you find this additional service helpful.
I also offer a tailored book subscription service.
