Ciara works in partnership with bookseller and publisher, Usbourne, and she says working with them has allowed her “to be me again” following a number of issues with her health.

She said: “I was struggling with my health and had to take a career break from work. With my mental health, I was struggling with being at home doing nothing.

“I was looking for something to keep my brain active and something that had stay-at-home opportunities.

“Being a bookworm, this was just something that was calling to me – the chance to work within the community and with schools.
