Happy World Book to everyone! Come and pop in to Chocolit to get a copy of my newest book Happy Together! (I'm also working there today so you could get a signed and dedicated one too!) ✍️📚

My world book day outfit was a joy to wear. The kids loved this panto dame interpretation inspired by Oh Yes I Am by @mamagstories.bsky.social and Toto #worldbookday #kidlit

I feel there is a lack of podcasts out there to showcase the work of UK Children’s & YA authors. Booklings Chat does just that. - if you are an author and would like to be on the show let me know!

Chronicles of a Lizard Nobody by @patricknessbooks.bsky.social and Tim Miller is the best read aloud book!

Expect big belly laughs from your children, bizarre happenings, hilarious chapter titles and practice saying GIANT ROBOT PELICAN SUIT

I challenged myself with the accents too!

Why The House with Chicken Legs by Sophie Anderson is such an amazing story:
💀 The unique plot
🧒🏻 Brilliant character arc
👵🏽 Badass old people
I especially loved the way the MC empowered herself with confidence to carve her own path. An essential MG read @sophieanderson.bsky.social #middlegrade

Steady For This by Nathanael Lessore is as wholesome and funny as the author. A must read.

This was such an amazing read.

It was a real pleasure to attend the 5th Anniversary celebration of The Diverse Book Awards last night & to hear insights from incredible authors who have won the award over the years! And to just be surrounded by authors, illustrators, publishers, Book sellers & librarians ✨️📚🖤
