In Conversation With... The Museum of Childhood

In our first episode of "In Conversation With..." we are really excited to be joined by Lyn Stevens and Susan Gardner of the Museum of Childhood in Edinburgh to discuss their thoughts about what children have been reading for the past 100+ years, and how children saw themselves in those books, or what they thought about them.  When you've listened to this conversation, we'd love to hear your thoughts on the importance of representation for children in their books and stories.  What do you think we need to think about in school literacy programmes - in supporting authors - to make sure that children can grow up knowing and realizing their rights and be happy, healthy and safe in schools, communities and at home?
