The power of a single page [Video]

In a world that rarely stops for a breath, it’s easy to overlook the impact of a few simple lines. But for those who live and breathe stories, a single page is often where the magic begins.

A Single Page Opening Frame


To celebrate our partnership with the National Year of Reading 2026 and the #GoAllIn campaign, we joined up with the social enterprise agency Pictures for the People to explore a simple question:

"What can a single page do for you?"

We sat down with the people at the heart of our community - teachers, librarians, authors, illustrators, and families. Their answers were a moving reminder of why literacy matters so deeply.

For some, a single page is the soft exhale at the end of a hectic day. For others, it’s a window into a life completely different from their own, or a quiet moment of connection that makes a busy day feel complete.

It is these small, human moments that sit at the heart of this year’s celebrations. We invite you to watch our short film, "A single page," and rediscover the power of picking up a book - even if it’s just for a moment.
