It is impossible to deny that we are in the midst of dark
and worrying times, an overwhelming gloom is trying it’s best to descend upon us but there
is a sanctuary and it can be found on our bookshelves, there is so much
joy, love, positivity and compassion to be found amidst the pages.
Lets not wallow in a world filled
with fear, intolerance, anger and hatred instead lets celebrate friendship,
salute positivity and give our children the freedom to change things for the
better and most of all give them hope.
Here is a very small section of some of my favourite books
which promote friendship, inspiration and tolerance.
A joyfully naughty celebration of being yourself with confidence, a liberating "bare all" "tail" about discovering your inner wild side. Grrrrrreat!
