A thought for the new term. READING FOR PLEASURE is the most important thing in education: more important than any test scores, or any of the hoops we make our kids jump through. So whatever else you do, please never stop helping kids find books to read & love. It will change their lives! #literacy
Tickets are NOW LIVE! Look at our brand new website, meet the incredible authors & illustrators coming. Tickets are only £1 – really!. Book now – staustellfestivalofchildrensliterature.com/2025-festival/ - and tag families across Cornwall who’d love to join the fun #ReadingForPleasure #KidsLit
We have lots of anecdotal evidence about the impact of the festival. This year we are undertaking a formal research project into the difference attending festival events might make to children’s reading attitudes and habits. Really excited about this! #research #readingforpleasure
Authors & publishers of illustrated books: Credit illustrators when you talk about your books, esp if you are using their ART (including book cover art) in any promo graphics. Bonus: this also helps show that a HUMAN CREATIVE is behind the art, not generative AI. #PicturesMeanBusiness #KidLit
Andrea Tsurumi@atsurumi.bsky.social · last yr.Betsy is a flippin' treasure. I've learned about so many great illustrators through her! And her shining a light is esp. appreciated when illustrators often get shunted back behind writers during book promo.
Are you ready to play the ULTIMATE GAME? 💀 Request the thrilling sequel to the bestselling 'Escape Room' adventure from author @christopheredge.bsky.social on @netgalley.bsky.social. Discover an epic world packed with puzzles, action, and mystery! 👉 ow.ly/lHBS50VtHEi
Every single school should have a school library & a school librarian, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers, and give them all the lifelong benefits of literacy. Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #SchoolLibrarianDay #SchoolLibraryMonth
