Wednesday Thought: Books

Hello there Gentle Reader, its been a great time to be a teacher at the International School of Riga. Today and tomorrow  are the annual book day celebrations, with a 26 hour readathon, special  lessons and lots of kids and teachers dressing up as their favourite book characters.

In honour of this special day, I am going to share with you some thoughts on the importance of books.
