InspiREAD 2025, led by the Education Library Service with support from Arts Council England and Nottinghamshire County Council, proudly celebrated the very best in children’s literature, with winners chosen by young readers across three exciting categories.

We’re thrilled to announce that the winner of the Picture Book category is A Wild Walk to School by Rebecca Cobb. This delightful story - full of fun, charm, and warmth - is beautifully illustrated and perfectly captures the everyday magic of a child’s journey to school. It’s a relatable read for children and grown-ups alike.
