Every child deserves the magic of books. ✨📚 But for too many families this winter, books will feel like a luxury they can't afford.
Donate to our Christmas Appeal today to give the magic of books to children and families accessing food banks this festive season. 🎄

It is a NEW BOOK DAY! 'Writing for Young People', by me, is an accessible look at how fiction for children and young adults is crafted. In eight chapters, we take a DEEP DIVE into picturebooks, MG and YA with AUTHOR INTERVIEWS and WRITING EXERCISES #kidlit #ukkidlit uk.bookshop.org/p/books/writ...
We're looking for three kids to join us on the judging panel for the first ever Children's Booker Prize, supported by AKO Foundation.
