Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

A thread about picture books, old and new. Apart from being favourites of mine, the links between them are one or more of:

They are beautifully illustrated

They contain accurate facts and/or life-enhancing concepts

They may also contain a note (or, indeed, a cacophony) of humour

Reminded of this by Facebook - 3 years ago, I had the idea of getting people together to encourage “making” over the Christmas period. A whole bunch of lovely, talented people made videos of things you can make as gifts for Christmas qeprize.org/a-month-of-m...
A Month of Making
The Queen Elizabeth Prize for Engineering (QEPrize) champions bold, groundbreaking engineering innovation which is of global benefit to humanity.

GIGANTIC has won the picture book category at the Sheffield Children's Book Awards! I'm thrilled, especially as it's voted for by readers. Huge thanks to my team at HarperCollins, everybody involved with the awards and to all the kids who voted. I'm so chuffed that my little whale is so popular. 🐳

Fact: Gandalf needed to find some very specific writing from Isildur, and he needed it quick smart

This was ONLY possible through an organised and well indexed #Library & #Archvie, open to the community, with a well trained & paid, experienced professional staff

This 💯
A repeat thought, Bluesky, & a Librarian told you this so it must be true 🤣

Audiobooks definitely count as reading (as well as listening). If you've played through an audioook, its perfectly fine to describe that as "I have read [x]"

All other forms of assistive software count as reading too 💙📚

Happy Robert Louis Stevenson Day - my Scottish literary hero. Want to know how he (probably) came up with the greatest pirate story ever written...

It's #bookrec time!

Some of you know how obsessed we are with Birdie by J. P. Rose. It's one of our books if the year and deserves to be a classic. Middle grade, friendship, identity, family, set in post-war Britain in a pit village, where Birdie befriends a pit pony. Gorgeous book!

I'm going to start Readwyrm here on Bluesky with this gorgeous wordless picture book from Aaron Becker: The Last Zookeeper. It comes highly recommended by my 9-year-old test reader. And it has perhaps the best book trailer I've ever seen.

Water, water everywhere. In a flooded world, NOA finds himself alone, the last of a crew of seawall construction machines. Luckily, the tenderhearted robot soon…
