Thrilled to see THREE books by brilliant agency authors in this selection. Congrats @moirabutterfield.bsky.social @pippagoodhart.bsky.social @mikebarfield.bsky.social - all experts in making books kids love to read.
At Beanstalk we spend a lot of time finding books which we think are 'Beanstalk brilliant' for children who 'don't like reading'
Each school we work with gets a pack of brilliant Beanstalk books & we've just chosen 20 new titles for our 25/26 packs

Starting to write a new book and there's always a familiar feeling, like being at the bottom of a mountain with a long path ahead. I recognise this place, though. So - Head down. Foot forward. I need a bit of grit and focus and I will soon be halfway up. #kidslit #kidsbooks #kidlit #writing

A crossroads for copyright
The government’s consultation on AI is economically and strategically disastrous, and we must fight back.
