Maia Reading film

The film above is a a collection of photographs and film clips of baby Maia with her father, Paul and her mother, Beatrice.

In Booktrust we believe it is never too early to start loving books and it is never too late either. This film shows what happens when a baby is given a love of stories, songs and rhymes from the start.

Although it is only six minutes long the film contains an enormous amount of useful information and it is worth watching twice.
