Did you know that May is National Share a Story Month 2025?

Organised by the Federation of Children’s Book Groups, National Share a Story Month is an annual event designed to celebrate the fabulous world of children’s fiction and to inspire a love of reading by sharing stories.

In 2025, the theme of National Share a Story Month is 'Saving the World, One Book at a Time'  so to celebrate this, we have come up with a selection of Beanstalk Brilliant books which we think celebrate sharing stories and saving the world at the same time, including our Book of the Month, 'Small Steps, Big Change' by Annemarie Cool and James Jones.

About the book

'Small Steps, Big Change' by Annemarie Cool, illustrated by James Jones

Small Steps, Big Change is a one-stop-shop for small, everyday goals kids can aim for to engender positive change in our world. Packed with helpful tips in a simple, upbeat language that children will understand, and illustrated in a bold and quirky style by James Jones, this is the ideal guide to inspire children to help build a better tomorrow.

From making puppets out of old socks, to spreading kindness and protecting our oceans, kids will love getting involved in all the ways we can make a difference to the world. Small Steps, Big Change is the perfect handbook for changing the world one small step at a time!

Equally brilliant Beanstalk books to share this month to 'save the world, one book at a time!'
