For example, we spoke with founding member of the Reading Agency, Debbie Hicks,...
Clip: âThey love books and reading, but they also love people and understand local communities. So I think theyâre absolute pioneers, on the rock face of reader development, and I take my hat off to themâ

Clip: âBooks can be such a powerful way to share disabled people's stories and for people to find out that they're not aloneâ
