Nice review:
“One of the most underrated gems of the year. It is so dang funny, but it’s also tackling something we don’t often see for this age … kids will devour this important and profound message without ever realizing it. Just make sure you read it after your kids, because it’s that good.”

50 years ago today Jaws was released. And 15 years ago today my Dad was released (from this planet). He was a fantastic father who always supported my dream of becoming an artist. And he took me to see Jaws when I was ten years old, which inspired my autobiographical graphic novel Boy Vs Shark.

The Pluto Rocket graphic novel series by @paulgilligan.bsky.social is enormously popular with our KS2 children. Lots of hilarious dialogue and entertainingly ridiculous plotlines. Streetwise pigeon Joe Pidge has very quickly become one of my favourite book characters! @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social
