Oh my, thank you @uklitassociation.bsky.social ! So many of my favourite authors are here - what an honour to be longlisted alongside them. AND what joy to see Troika buddy, Sarah Zimman in the mix!
There’s one drawback to reading in the bath (apart from the occasional book dunking); if the book is good the water gets cold, then getting out is chilly. I am currently living this experience.

This is such a valuable report from @theclpe.bsky.social.
Research shows how important it is for children to see themselves in books, so we're pleased that there has been some progress.
However, it's clear that there is still a lot of work to be done to improve representation in children's books.

It’s a privilege to share touching moments with people in workshops Today, a 9yr old read aloud a poem recounting the day his parents told him they were divorcing. At the end of the day, a teacher showed me an otter poem he’d written, because he knew it was my kind of subject.

In WW2 a 19 year old sent his mother a poem. He sadly died; but the poem endured. It’s a long term favourite with our schools via ‘OD to Quality Writing 10-13’ .I’ve just heard it read out at the British Legion Festival on bbc.
