Reading books makes the world a kinder place!

Did you know that people who read books have been scientifically proven to be kinder people than those who don’t? And that societies made up of people who love reading are kinder and less violent than those that aren’t?

It’s fascinating to find out why! It’s because when we are reading a book, our brains are working overtime putting ourselves into the shoes of the characters in the book we are reading!

If you want to find out more, ask Mum and Dad to visit my grown-ups’ blog here and to share with you what the scientists are saying, and why. They can also share with you the science about why spending too much time on digital screens is bad for your brain … and bad for the world!

It’s just one more excellent reason to curl up with a great book as soon as your homework’s done and dusted!
