We put together inspiring collections of children's books and resources, in English, for centres of education, teachers and parents. We've taken the hard work out of choosing for you too - just tell us who you want to inspire and we will put together a reading collection that reflects the best of what is available in each age category, from new releases to timeless classics.

MEET SALAMANDER'S AMANDA
Hi, I'm Amanda
![](https://static.wixstatic.com/media/720879_ff595a00faff4274888bfe107832ef9e~mv2.jpg/v1/fill/w_238,h_238,al_c,q_80,usm_0.66_1.00_0.01,enc_auto/720879_ff595a00faff4274888bfe107832ef9e~mv2.jpg)
I'm a trained educator and I have taught in schools in the UK and in Denmark. I have experience of the English National Curriculum, Cambridge Curriculum, the International Baccalaureate and I hold a specialism in Early Years.
I also have experience as a home educator.
​
I have always enjoyed reading to my own children and to my students in class and I am passionate about providing learning resources which inspire, open our minds to the world and encourage us to find out more. Resources which are fun and inviting, but also literacy-rich provide boundless opportunities for creative reflection and action.
Through Salamander, I hope to inspire you too! Whether you are a school looking to expand your English Language resources, a library seeking new and relevant titles, a teacher seeking inspiration, or a parent looking to inject some fun activities into daily life, I think we can help!
​
We work with reputable UK Publishers who produce materials of the highest quality which are fun, playful and packed full of wonder. Many of the books we recommend are award-winners and some are internet-linked to support further curiosity and learning.
​
We also create literacy inspired workshops to support student learning and art workshops with the team at Culture Shift. Find out more about Culture Shift here.
​
Get in touch and we can talk about how we can help you.
Looking forward to hearing from you!
Amanda
