Reads a lot. Writes a lot. Doesn't sleep much.

2024 Books That Help Us Mentorship Winner
https://www.booksthathelp.co.uk/mentorship

I write children's books from picture to young adult and am working towards submitting to agents.
We've been loving this interactive, call and response book which gets everyone laughing and dancing. It's also inspired my 3yo to do several 'bare bear butt dances'... You'll have to read it to understand. #funnypicturebooks #kidlit #picturebook

A funny and thoughtful book about a day where everything goes wrong. With a toddler and a new baby in the house we're very familiar with big shouting days. Last night this book was read four times in a row and it nearly became a big shouting bedtime! #picturebook #toddlers #toddlerbooks

Gus the goat wants to know where mole lives - & he really wants it to rhyme too! This is a hilarious picture book! Laugh out loud funny with brilliant wordplay. It's got my whole family laughing this evening. #bookworm #reading #picturebook

How this week has felt: Writing is done in sporadic bursts. Sleep is just as fragmented. Breastfeeding doubles as reading time - moments of calm in the chaos. The soundtrack is my toddler asking me to play on repeat, needing connection.
Being so needed for this short, precious time. #parent #toddler

Been a bit quiet here lately. After 2 weeks in hospital my son was born early at 34 weeks on 26th April 2025. We're still in hospital, but doing well. My husband drew this picture of us... Apparently my tiredness was showing. 🤣 #nicubaby #writingcommunity

Ask me how desperate I am for the teeth brushing tantrums to stop? 🤣 #3yo #toddler #tantrum #ifyouknowyouknow #iykyk #children #kids

Reading #thehungrycaterpillar as our bedtime story and my 3yo is putting his hand over the food the caterpillar isn't allowed to eat because my 3yo has dips.
Really hope the caterpillar is better at sharing than a toddler 🤣

We've been loving #thelittlestyak - the perfect book for reassuring little people that they will be just as loved after the birth of a sibling. #childrensbooks #kidlit #picturebook #reading #bookworm

I've had such a laugh reading this. #Lottiebrooks by Kate Kirby is like a cross between Angus, Thongs, and Full Frontal Snogging and Bridget Jones, but for contemporary preteens. #kidlit #funnybooks #iamreading #bookstagram #bookreview #childrensbooks #childrensliterature

We've been loving this laugh out loud take on Mr Men and Little Miss - at the Fire Station. When Mr Lazy forgets to turn off the iron the Fire Crew all work together to help. It's been requested every bedtime since borrowing it from the library. #mrmen #librarybooks #kidlit #picturebook

I'm so glad I'm not in high school anymore... Loved this unputdownable mystery. 5 teens walk into detention, only 4 walk out alive. One of them is a murderer. Fast paced, thrilling read. @writerkmc #teenthriller #kidlit #books #bookworm #reading #bookoftheday

When a little girl's Granny is snatched by a brontosaurus she must bravely give chase to rescue her. We've just borrowed this from our local library for the second or third time. This fast paced adventure is a joy to read over and over again. #picturebook #reading #childrensbooks #dinosaurbooks

My 3yo is poorly so we've been rereading our favourites. As all the other toys argue about who is the favourite the Snugglewump feels left out and all alone. I just love the name 'Snugglewump' and this book feels like a big hug. #childrensbooks #kidsbooks #iamreading #bookworm #kidlit #picturebooks

Absolutely loved #TheTwistedTree. We did the opening paragraph on a #WriteMentor video and I was instantly hooked. #ya #yafiction #kidlit #bookworm

My 3yo's nursery has introduced a lending library and reading records so that they can link up learning between nursery and home and of course promote reading. I'm loving this... #picturebookstagram #picturebook #toddlers #earlyyears #preschool

My latest read, excited to finish this duology. Can Faron, now held captive, defeat Lightbringer without succumbing to ecil herself? Can her sister Elena save Faron and the world? #yabooks #teen #youngadult #bookworm

Dwayne-o and Jane-o are going to the volcano. Chaos and hilarity ensue. My 3yo loves volcanos and is reading this daily. He keeps asking me to tell the characters off. Cue me trying to model gentle parenting. 'Oh you wanted that volcano? I hear that, but it's not safe.' 🤣🌋 #kidlit #books #pb

Tess is struggling with the loss of her Dad, being friendless, & the terrifying pains her stomach sends her. When she gets a chance to compete in the Bake Off she must pull everything together. Really enjoyed this book, funny and warm-hearted, and good to see a portrayal of #crohns. #mg #kidlit

My 3yo had a rough day with feelings so we chose this book for bedtime. I was stunned as he used each colour to explain to me how he had felt during a particularly bad meltdown earlier. He finished by telling me he was feeling love now. #thecolourmonster #bigfeelings #picturebooks

I'm still reeling from The Secret Deep by Lindsay Galvin. Read it in less than 48 hours. So original, really stunning writing. #thesecretdeep #uppermiddlegrade #bookworm #iamreading #mg #books

Ventured into the non fiction children's section of the library today with my 3 year old and this hurricane book has officially made both our brains explode.
The level of questions is intense but also amazing and wonderful.
