“Representation is everything; it shows our kids that they matter. You believe what you see, and you become what you believe”

Yay! Another World Book Day is upon us, it’s time to dress up. Thursday 2nd March is going to be epic, and we are so excited. It’s such a lovely day for parents and carers to see their little ones dressed up and excited. However, it can get very overwhelming. The process of looking for both lovely and appropriate outfits to dress up the little ones as their favourite characters can be cumbersome. To make it easier for you, we have researched, so you don’t have to. All you need to do is read this post, pick what character you want to be, shop the outfit and get your little ones dressed up. Be sure to share your photos with us on Thursday. So who is it going to be?
