I've a theory.... that if ALL teachers carried a book with them at all times, far more reading conversations would take place....Role models... Kind of do as i do not as i say

Who is up for moving #Worldbookweek to summer term, so we (authors) get to see some of the places we visit instead of walks in the dark and staring Travelodge walls

"Nighttime slows
Raindrops splash rainbows
Perhaps somone you know
Could sparkle and shine"

I played this by @Lightning_Seeds night after night as i wrote about Louus and Jonas. Kind of soundtrack of their lives , and mine.

You get an idea
And love it
You write it
And love it
You get the final jacket design
And love it even more

Most asked question..."what is your favourite book?"
