#myriceisbest written by Selina Brown and illustrated by Maxwell A Oginni is so much fun! It's such a joyful celebration of food and different cultures. How I WISH this book was around when I was growing up!! #kidlitUK

Yesterday, I went to a lunchtime talk at the #Britishlibrary inspired by acclaimed Trinidadian textile designer #AltheaMcNish. More talks happening over the summer and they're FREE! If you're in London drop in. Thanks
