I love what I do, but it's extra special to receive a message like this after a school visit 🥰

Hi. Just wanted to pop on and say that my daughter really enjoyed meeting you today. We have spent the evening before bed reading some wonderful poems together x

This really made me smile, laugh and feel ready for Christmas. What wonderful poems @attielime.bsky.social @tinytreebooks.bsky.social. If children (and adults) read anything this Christmas/winter, make sure it’s this. Recommend! ❄️❄️❄️

Job done! Thank you Northumberland ❤️ Four days, six schools, lots of wonderful children and staff, many poetry memories and lots of books into children's hands. What a week. Loved it.

Poems at bedtime tonight for Little Lime. We 'performed' Too Many Cats together and he got the hiccups from laughing so much - especially as our cat walked in, halfway through! @joshuaseigal.bsky.social @bloomsburybooksuk.bsky.social

One of my favourite illustrations from A Welly Full of Christmas. I'm lucky to have my friend Nadine Licence as illustrator - we met more than 20 years ago in a library, which is fitting. Our Christmassy book is out next week. Pre-orders open, or ask re. signed copies ❄️ @tinytreebooks.bsky.social

What would they tell us, if they could?
Poem from Blue Jelly and Strawberries, published by @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social and illustrated by Kate Sheppard.
#UKKidLit #KidLitUK #Books
What Are They Trying to Tell Us? What does the mouse tell us with his squeak? What secrets hide in the eagle's beak? What does the elephant sign with her trunk? What can we learn from the stinky skunk? What does Miaow mean? What about Moo? What is Hello in Kangaroo? What tales are curled in a monkey's tail? Or held in the jaws of a great blue whale? What is the joke in a parakeet's squawk? If only animals could talk! Attie Lime
