You’ll have to forgive me for repeatedly sharing this but I‘m glad to have had the opportunity to write honestly and openly about my experiences in publishing and how my local librarian has helped me feel supported when no-one in publishing has:

"I did not have the good fortune of living with parents who loved reading or in a household filled with books, but I did have an excellent local library...now that I am an author, it is once again librarians who are helping me to flourish in the absence of other support" (scroll down to read my bit)

Primary Teachers! If you’re looking for an author visit which is truly cross-curricular and excellent value for money, ask me about my talks on “How to Find a Rainbow” (storytelling / the science of light) and “About Time” (non-fiction writing / history and science of time-keeping). More info here

We have been learning more about recycling during #recyclingweek

Families enjoyed watching our beautiful film on sustainability featuring @laurahallain.bsky.social by @sirenfilms.bsky.social

We read a range of books/info about looking after our planet.

And children have been junk modelling.
A selection of books about caring for planet earth set out on a green table cloth. A display board of information about recycling in Southwark - leaflets, books. A smart board in a classroom playing our sustainability film for families. Laura Henry Allain on the screen. An example of junk modelling by one of the children. Cardboard tubes and masking tape to represent spiders on a log.

I was moved by how Sarah and @eyfsclaire.bsky.social talk about how racial justice is part of it
Beautiful.
