COVER REVEAL DAY! It’s that day when authors believe their story will become a physical thing readers can hold, rather than just inhabiting their imagination. 😆

Honoured to see Jakub’s Otter featured in the 2026 Read for Empathy Collection, esp in this National Year of Reading. This fantastic collection of 65 books for 3-16+ yr olds (curated by librarians, booksellers, teachers, academics) all help to encourage empathy in their readers.

Teachers, if you are taking part in Empathy Day or other things ‘empathy’, you can get FREE guides for each book from Empathy Lab.

I hate form filling. There’s often not an ‘occupation’ box for an author/poet to tick. I sometimes describe my job as ‘Pretending’, so we need a box like that.

It’s been one of those admin days when each time you tick something off your list, you find it’s immediately replaced by 2 new tasks, and then you book yourself into a hotel on the wrong dates.

Coral's not just 'The Jellyfish Poet' but 'The Seaweed' one too. Love this!
Hello Blueskyland. It’s National Bubble Wrap Day in the UK, so I offer this poem to celebrate jointly my love of the seaside and popping bubble wrap! ( From ‘Things That Should Be in a Poem’) #poem

I was writing in a coffee shop today. People are very loud. It’s amazing how often some people say ‘literally’. I was tempted to share this poem.
