✨ For anyone thinking about CHRISTMAS, this is your PSA that I can sign, wrap and send books as gifts! Moon Bear is a magical wordless book, illustrated by #CarolinaGodina ✨

Picture books are an incredible tool to support children facing tricky times ❤️

"Picture books are often quite undervalued, and sometimes seen as a stepping stone to 'proper reading'. But picture books can be transgressive and beautiful and complex." - @lawrencepatrice.bsky.social. ALL OF THIS! www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fea...

What a great collection to support children going through the hardest of times ❤️‍🩹

This week is #nationalgriefawarenessweek We‘ve chosen #picturebooks to help children talk about how they feel after a bereavement or loss. These stories can support children as they deal with differing emotions at a difficult time ❤️‍🩹 storysnug.com/2024/12/grie... #booksthathelp #StorySnug #UKKidLit

When you ask people about the books that changed their lives, they almost always mention a children's book. They're the books that make us readers, shape us at the deepest levels, and stay with us FOREVER. That's why I think children's books are the most important books of all! #kidlit #books

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...
