Non-fiction November with Graffeg
This month at the Graffeg offices we're celebrating Non-fiction November! Non-fiction November was created by the Federation of Children's Book Groups as a way to highlight the importance of information books and to promote reading non-fiction for pleasure.
What better way is there to celebrate than with the perfect book? Here are our recommendations for this Non-fiction November:
