Love of the Page

Today was one of our favourite days at the local school, the 'Book Week' parade. After several weekends of work, my son Finn got to be a Dalek, just as his older brother had been back in 2019, and Rowan made a fabulous Peter Capaldi. The photos cover 13 years of costumes and fun.

I wrote this song musing on the value of giving kids a love for reading at a young age, and the freedom to imagine themselves as anything they want to.

*Warning* Book Week Parades are a gateway to Cosplay as an adult *Warning*
