Sometimes I’m asked ‘why do you care?’
‘Swifts are one of the oldest species on earth. They spend more time airborne than any other bird yet when they come home they come home to us. They’re on the brink. They just need a brick with a hole in it.’

Parents/teachers/anyone who's interested in children's books: would you help Marianne out by filling this in?
I work for Scottish Book Trust and we’re running a survey for parents/teachers/kids book enthusiasts about how they find books for kids. I’d be enormously grateful if anyone can spare 5-10 mins to share their thoughts. #KidLitUK

Unsolicited writing advice, no. 5:
Much of writing is memory. Memory of places, of feelings, of dreams, of experience, of sensations. Anything you can do to enhance your memory can help you as a writer: keeping notebooks, diaries, being conscious of life as it unfolds; noticing details. Remembering.

It's so amazing, thank you. We love your books. My two year old is a huge fan of the Bear series and Lights on Cotton Rock.
The piano is bringing a lot of joy to the shop!
Coincidentally I dressed as the Bear for WBD this year. One to repeat next year I think.

Here’s my new book announcement! I didn’t dare to dream I’d be able to write my very own story collection until my dear agent Julia and the brilliant team at Zephyr, Head of Zeus (part of Bloomsbury) suggested it. These timeless stories are unlike anything I’ve written;they’ve stretched my writing/1
