We hope you're all as excited as we are for Frankfurter Buchmesse next week! Don't forget to pop over to our stand and say hello if you'd like a chat - we'll be situated at Stand 6.1 B37 🍒🤩 #FrankfurtBookFair #FrankfurtBuchmesse #BookFair #ChildrensPublisher

What better way to celebrate World Mental Health Day than getting together, enjoying a #TeaAndTalk and sharing wellness stories? Over some delicious sweet treats and hot beverages, the Cherries all enjoyed a morning of exchanging stress reliefs, funny stories and EVEN had a read of Ernie’s Mindful Journey, written and illustrated by our very own Every Cherry designer, Kirsty! Mental health topics shouldn’t be a taboo, and as this year’s #WMHD theme suggests, you should feel comfortable discussing such things in the workplace, which was exactly what we set out to encourage this morning. Of course, it isn’t always this easy, so if you feel like you need more dedicated mental health assistance or just want to learn more, we’ve linked some accessible online resources in the comments. Wishing everyone a safe and knowledgeable end to World Mental Health Week! #WorldMentalHealthWeek #MentalHealth

We're SO excited to be publishing this brand-new series by Samuel Halpin!!! Middle-grade readers are in for a treat 🍒 #SamuelHalpin #TheAgencyForAllThingsSpectral #SpookyStories

Happy #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek! This year, the theme is Share Your Story, so we think it’s the perfect chance to remind you, our readers, why we’ve embarked on this incredibly exciting accessible journey … For so long, there has been a whole community of aspiring readers left behind, with essentially no books that they could call their own. Did you know that around 1.7 MILLION school pupils have a learning disability or difficulty? That’s over 18% of all students in the UK, and until we launched Every Cherry, they didn’t really have any high-quality or enjoyable reading material! Since our first books published, we’ve reached readers across the globe - readers with dyslexia, autism, ADHD, PMLD and/or other diagnoses - and have allowed them to lose themselves in glorious literature. Most importantly, however, we’ve given them choice. We’ve allowed them to choose between a list of amazing texts. We’ve allowed them to decide whether they want to read physically, listen to an audiobook or watch a signed video. We’ve allowed them to take back control of their reading experience. This is why events like Dyslexia Awareness Week are so important - they give us a chance to reflect on our processes and assess what we’re offering to the SEN community. Accessibility is so much more than a dyslexia-friendly font; it’s giving readers the option to decide what works best for them. #EveryCherry #DAW24 #DyslexiaFriendlyBooks #AccessibleBooks
