If you're looking for Christmas presents for someone aged about 9 to about 14, my book is set in winter. It's snowing! Inside Stitchwort house we have log fires, cosy blankets, tea and hot buttered toast. There's also a mystery curse, a ghost or two, and a whole family with magical abilities 🕷️❄️🕸️❄️🕷️
Me, holding up a copy of my book. The book is called The Stitchwort Curse and is predominantly blue with the title in gold writing. I'm holding the book half covering my face. I'm a middle-aged white woman, I have brown hair past my shoulders, and glasses. I'm wearing a burgundy knitted jumper. Behind me is a huge version of the book cover.

Parents often tell me they read David W*lliams’ books because they’re FUNNY and ACCESSIBLE! Well, here’s some collections of books that feature funny, heartwarming and inclusive poems by poets who don’t punch down and aren’t embroiled in scandal!

THE DAD TRAP is a funny, heartwarming story about adoption and blended families with a neurodivergent main character.

Eeeeekkkkkkkk!!!!!

My copy of THE DAD TRAP arrived yesterday and I was so excited and overwhelmed and EMOTIONAL and did I mention I was EXCITED?!?

If you’ve got kids aged 8-13 who love silly, action-packed, fun stories full of chaos and mischief, they might like this!
