Recent media coverage in Aotearoa New Zealand and internationally has raised concerns that children are reading less for pleasure and enjoying books less than previous generations. The picture is nuanced, though: while there are worrying trends, there are also encouraging signs that young people still want stories and connection when books are made meaningful and accessible.
