Waterstones and Barnes & Noble are joining Hachette’s Raising Readers programme for a three-day storytime event on September 18–20. The activities are aimed at children aged three to eight, with schools taking part before the bookshop weekend. In the US, the programme centres on Christopher Denise’s Knight Owl . UK

events feature the picture-book work of Rachel Bright and Jim Field, whose collaborations include The Lion Inside and The Turtle Who Turned the Tide . Bright and Field will also host a free national virtual school event on Friday, September 18, from 10:30 to 11:15 a.m. BST. The US school outreach aims to reach up to

1,000 elementary schools. There is no single start time for all the in-store sessions. Hachette directs families to contact their local Waterstones or Barnes & Noble for its participating event details. The school broadcast time should not be mistaken for the weekend bookshop schedule.
