The wonderful Illustrators' Fair returns to Granary Square, Kings X tomorrow and I'll be selling books, prints, tea towels and tote bags! Always a lovely event, it's round the corner from the weekly Canopy Market which hosts crafts and delicious food stalls, so you can really make a day of it!

This is such a brilliant initiative and I couldn't be more delighted that Measuring Me! has been chosen to help welcome reception children beginning their school lives. Good luck to every single one of them and happy reading!
Fifty copies of Measuring Me by @nicolakent.bsky.social for our new Reception children. Delivered by hand to their front doors creating a reading community before they even step foot in the building!

Cat and Dumpling both need new flats. Dumpling wants a garden to grow lots of plants and Cat needs cupboards for her wool. Finally they both find the right place. Only problem is that it's the same place! Can two such different people share? @nicolakent.bsky.social @oxfordchildrens.bsky.social
