Danni launched ZaZa's Storybox in 2019 to inspire more families to read to their little ones after seeing the positive impact it had on her daughter, Zara.  Determined to get more books into families home and identifying a gap in the market for a book subscription that offered a box tailored to the specific age of the subscriber rather than a 'one size fits all' approach, ZaZa's Storybox was launched to help families easily get age-appropriate books conveniently delivered to their home.

🌟📚 In a climate where most small businesses are cutting back, we are proud to be the exception and are going big! 📚🌟 📕 Our passion for children’s literacy has led us to launch two new children's books subscriptions (which have had an overwhelming positive response).&nbsp; 📗 To celebrate our launch and make a meaningful impact on early childhood education we are offering early years settings across the country the opportunity to win £750 worth of books.&nbsp; 📘 I would love to spread the word and give as many early years settings the opportunity to get their hands on some more books for their school - it is disheartening that one in seven state primary schools does not have a designated library space - we believe all children deserve access to a diverse range of books to broaden their thinking, introduce them to new ideas and expand their horizons.&nbsp; 📙 Reading for pleasure is possibly the single-most important activity a child can do to improve their achievement in school so our book subscriptions are a valuable and meaningful gift that keeps on giving so would also be perfect for any Christmas Gift Guides. 🎄<blockquote>It is disheartening that one in seven state primary schools does not have a designated library space.</blockquote>

Teachers absolutely love new resources for their classroom and a Storybox is just that offering learning potential for children for years to come and serving as a source of inspiration for lesson plans. This gift is especially valuable in light of tight school budgets, as it means teachers don't have to spend their own money to top up classroom resources. By giving a Storybox, you can show your appreciation for teachers and support their passion for teaching. Some of our Storyboxes (such as Dear Zoo) are also paired with resources created in collaboration with Twinkl which is a resource teachers regularly use to support lesson planning. hello@zazastorybox.com www.zazastorybox.com<blockquote>By giving a Storybox, you can show your appreciation for teachers and support their passion for teaching.</blockquote>

Teacher Gifts: Say Thank You by Supporting their Passion for Teaching

Many parents will be shuddering at the thought of World Book Day next week - the need to provide the perfect outfit can overwhelm and add to the mental load and easily become the focus rather than encouraging a love of books. Personally, I love World Book Day and everything it stands for but stand by the fact that we need to consider why we are celebrating and continue that excitement for books throughout the year. Reading for pleasure is the single biggest indicator of a child's future success – more than their family circumstances, their parents’ educational background or their income.&nbsp; The outfits get (most) children excited, it can engage reluctant readers, and importantly makes reading fun which which naturally inspires a love of books. If you are writing a feature on World Book Day, I'd love to be included and can speak from a number of perspectives: - Why World Book Day is so important - World Book Day Outfit Inspiration - The Benefits of Reading to Babies and Toddlers - Book Recommendations for 0-5 Year Olds<blockquote>The need to provide the perfect outfit can overwhelm and add to the mental load and easily become the focus rather than encouraging a love of books.</blockquote>

World Book Day - Is it more about the Outfits than Reading Books?

The Princess of Wales is highlighting the critical importance of early childhood. A child’s learning doesn’t start on their first day of school which is why I’m really looking forward to the outcomes of the work that The Princess of Wales is driving. Our Storyboxes in our baby and toddler book subscription are designed to support and educate parents on the importance of reading with their child giving little ones the opportunity to develop a love of books whilst building their first little library at home.&nbsp; The early years are fundamental and reading to your little one has been proven to be one of the most valuable gifts you can give them for the best start in life - I’d love to share why in more detail alongside valuable reading tips. Contact: hello@zazastorybox.com www.zazastorybox.com &nbsp;<blockquote>When I heard that the number of toddlers being read to had dropped by a fifth in just five years, and that only 1 in 11 family homes had books for their children, I made it my mission to be a force for change.</blockquote>
