It’s time to celebrate World Book Day 2023! While many of us have spent a fraught day trying to build a Roblox costume or looking into what Verucca Salt might have worn in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, building costumes for our school age children… we also celebrate the glorious, wonderful, imaginative, immersive wonder of books with World Book Day!
Beautifully put by George R. R. Martin, author of Game of Thrones, “A reader lives a thousand lives before he dies. The man who never reads lives only one.”
We all want to live those thousand lives. We can be spies, superheroes, fairies – or villains. It’s through reading we teach our children good and bad. Right and wrong. And it’s often the first way of inspiring and educating our children into the adults they will become.
Women Tech 100 Award winner, Beverly Clarke, educator, mentor and author gives her thoughts on her new book series, The Digital Adventures of Ava and Chip, having won multiple accolades for her innovative new books.
“I have created a children’s book series introducing young readers to the world of technology, through a series of adventures with their mum. In my books, aimed at children aged 7-11, Ava and Chip explore the world around them, learn the impact of technology and develop greater technology literacy.”
Now available on Amazon.
