Thank you @lucynoguerawrites.bsky.social for my super copy of #Swop #TheDaringDinosaurDetective!
A fun school visit to the Natural History Museum that swiftly turns to chaos when super-secret, pocket-sized Swop breaks free from Ernie's stolen rucksack - Can they catch him and the thief!?🦖

Stitch is being very helpful this morning, despite his age being well over retirement he’s still overseeing my postcard preparation! 🥰🐶🐾

These are the Swop postcards currently burning a hole in my desk… Teachers/librarians can I send your children one?? #readingforpleasure #readingschools

If any primary schools/classes would like an author notecard & mini book poster to start their new half term let me know! #readingforpleasure #readingschools

@oakgrovepri.bsky.social if you would like a free mini book poster & author note let me know. I saw your school on another (old) social feed & admired your reading for pleasure work!

What a lovely afternoon at my children’s old school talking about dinosaurs and miniature dogs! #Authorvisits are one of the best parts of being an author ✍🏼🐶🦖📖🥰

Here's a thing! Buy any children's book from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social this month, as part of their #ReadItForward campaign, they'll donate 10% to the charities @booktrust.org.uk & @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social.

And apparently if it's one of mine an angel gets a new set of wings.

Chatted with 8 classes in Bath and then 8 classes in Manchester all in one afternoon! Virtual visits when planned & all working well (good wifi, camera working etc) are such a valuable resource for schools, affordable and interactive & still promote reading for pleasure! @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social

Lovely to sign a big box of books after my first Swop The Daring Dinosaur Detective Zoom Event! 📚🦖 @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social

Not quite sure how I managed to have a nap before my first zoom for Swop 2?! But managed to wake up and really enjoy talking to a school in Oxford!

Totally agree! I do lots of virtual author visits with Yr5/6 with my picture book Herman Needs a Home.
Don't feel you need to rush a five year old on from picture books.

Picture books are amazing and can be for everyone ❤️

I’m really hoping to do some zoom author visits outside of the UK in January as part of the launch of Swop 2 The Daring Dinosaur Detective 🐾🦖📚
If you are a school/or know one that loves books and would be interested let me know! #internationalschools #authorvisits @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social

How lovely are these?? I’m on the train home from Stockport & I’m reading through all the ‘Thank You’ and ‘Welcome’ cards the Year 6 Reading Ambassadors have made for me. Such a lovely school & such a positive reading for pleasure environment. 🥰📚 #authorvisit #Stockport @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social
