Staying up to watch the football is all well and good until it gets to 5am and your brain is too wired to sleep.

So I've decided to settle down with Bird Boy by @catherinebruton instead. Loving it so far.

Tadpole Summer by @catherinebruton is sure to be one of my top books of 2026. Heartbreaking yet heartwarming, it tells the powerful story of a sibling of a child with a life-limiting illness. This is a must-read for teachers.

[Kate Heap: Scope for Imagination @KateHeap1]

@tlander93 @catherinebruton @NosyCrow It will definitely be staying on my shelves. I finished reading it while camping with a doctor friend who works with critically ill children. She’s made note of it for some of her families.
