2nd - 8th May is Children's book week! Whether it's Roald Dahl, David Walliams, Enid Blyton or any other children's author you enjoy, sharing a book with children is a great way to unwind and have some fun!
 This month’s feature article is a meta-analysis on shared reading interventions. It focuses not only on the benefits for the child (of which there are many), but also on the benefits on the care-giver.
