Loved the original storytelling in this book. Highly recommended to pupils in my school library.

I'm so excited about this! My debut novel, THE ZOMBIE PROJECT, is coming out in January 2025! Thank you so much to @chickenhsebooks, and to @aeadraws for the amazing cover!

I am very excited to have tickets to go and see Onjali Q Rauf at Hay Festival at the end of May. Don’t forget, if you can’t make it to the Festival you can still access their resources and talks online. #HayFestival2022

Isn’t this a lovely idea. Though it is also lovely to be 10% kinder to everyone. Working in a school teaches new levels of compassion in general I think.

As a school, we regularly select a pupil who needs ‘10% kinder’ from all staff - everyone makes the extra effort to be positive and warm for a young person having a hard time - we have really embraced this as a team, and it can make a huge difference for a child in a tough week.

So true. For my son it was #geronimostilton and #dogman

I believe that EVERY CHILD can be a reader. There is a book for everyone out there. Some kids haven't yet found that book; the one that starts them off, and lights the spark of #literacy. But once they do, they'll never stop - and it will change their lives forever.



readinggroups.org/big-jubilee-re… I do hope there will be a list for children and teens. In the meantime here’s the Big Jubilee Reading list.

Hello children’s book lovers. It’s the last Reading Matters - children’s book newsletter of this term. Lots of great book related links and reviews. I hope it’s helpful and you have a relaxing break. Happy reading! alibrarylady.blog/2022/04/02/rea…


Absolutely this.

We are learning how to say welcome in Ukrainian. Could we learn to say it in some other languages too?



How wonderful.
