Lot's of chatter about children's GN / comics recently, can't think why... A suggestion for kids who love GN and a spooky story - Suee and the Shadow, written by Ginger Ly and art by Molly Park.
It won our Reading Road map award back in 2018! #readingforpleasure #graphicnovel

@jamiesmart Like you said, I hope the recognition of how much of a place children's graphic novels are from publishers gets reflected to those who deserve it.

@Struan_Murray @PuffinBooks I have few rules about books, but one is that if it has a map then Its going to be good!

@whatSFSaid @chrisriddell50 @GreatSchLibs @uksla @CILIPinfo @CILIPSLG Couldn't agree more. Although somewhat biased...

[SF Said @whatSFSaid]

If we care about the future of our children - we need a library & a librarian in every single school, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #GreatSchoolLibraries

@JennyCarey3 Love to see it! There are enough obstacles for young people and reading, libraries are there to take those away not make more!

Tentatively dipping a toe into the querying pool and seeking an agent. Any other picture book people in the same boat? I’d love to connect with you!

@KayaJunction A true heart breaking loss

[Islington ELS @IslingtonELS]

Truly sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Benjamin Zephaniah. Not only so many children's route into poetry for so many years but a compassionate human who had a powerful voice for unity. I'll be reading my copy of Funky Chickens tonight.
