Gift-a-Book
We are delighted to be working in collaboration with Leyburn Primary School on their Gift-a-book scheme.
Why not mark your child's birthday celebrations by donating to this wonderful initiative. Here's how it works:
Visit The Wonky Tree Bookshop and choose a book to gift to the school - there are some suggestions below (which we will change at regular intervals) but we are also very happy to help you with your choice in the shop. We will keep a record of books purchased so that the school doesn't end up with lots of duplicated books - please ask at the counter and let us know if your purchase is towards the Gift-a-book scheme.
Alternatively, buy a Gift-a-book voucher for any amount, for your child to present to their class on their birthday (please ask at the counter). The school will then be able to use any donations to purchase wonderful new books for the school.
Why not give the gift of reading?
