@BenPBradshaw Congrats on your knighthood, Benj! Well deserved.

@Naidoo_J2J @MichaelRosenYes @GoldsmithsUoL @MarianneLevy I'm so glad you caught it @Naidoo_J2J . I couldn't login - so sad! And yes, hope it goes up on @MichaelRosenYes YouTube channel.

@scraphamster @mrjamesmayhew I used to run the MA in Children's Literature at Goldsmiths College. We used Rosie's walk as an example of an early postmodern text. If you read the words they provide a "counterpoint" to the illustrations. If you want to find out more about the theory, look up our MA!

@ChildericSchool @LPOrchestra What a wonderful experience for all those children!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@MsGamiet Doesn't look like you!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

Just reading this wonderful new autobiography. I was aware of her version for children "Coming to England" before, and had used it in my teaching on @GoldUnivMACL . However this book makes me realise how little I knew about such an inspirational woman. Highly recommended.

@Naidoo_J2J So pleased to hear. I have used this article in its original form many times when teaching about you, your books and the endless debate about "the right to write". Definitely time it got a re-publication. Looking forward to working with you again in March!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@MsGamiet Very moving story.

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@Naidoo_J2J @AlmaAward Congratulations Beverley Naidoo! Well deserved....

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@Naidoo_J2J @HarperCollinsCh @JessDeanPR @TheAgencyBooks Really looking forward to reading it! Next on my list...

Under 2 weeks to go until the fundraiser gig at @CBTavern featuring Lewisham bands @ThePinheads1 and The Grey Cats on behalf of @volunteering_uk #WeAre60 campaign. It's going to be a fun night!

@EggyHelen @GoldUnivMACL @MichaelRosenYes @rcharlesworth @deborahcfriedla Unbelievable, Helen!

[Michael Rosen 💙💙🎓🎓 NICE 爷爷 @MichaelRosenYes]

If you click on the photos, you can do 'then' and 'now' with them..about 37 years apart.

Michael Rosen and his son Joe look back: ‘I am gooning about, but this photo is tinged with sadness’ https://t.co/0A6GcNjza6

@TeachingWhimsy @GoldUnivMACL @MichaelRosenYes I'm retiring, Mrs Ford. Hope you are well and enjoying work and your studies. Best of luck.

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

My last teaching session ever at @GoldUnivMACL with the wonderful @MichaelRosenYes. Good luck to all our MACL students, and especially these ones on the Children's Literature in Action module for sharing my final moments in the classroom! I will miss you all.

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@MichaelRosenYes Why do you have to do that?

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@TheBratDragon @MichaelRosenYes @GoldsmithsUoL @GoldUnivMACL Just reached an agreement this week. Onward and upward!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@teachingmatter @MichaelRosenYes @GoldsmithsUoL @GoldUnivMACL I'm afraid we don't offer it remotely. You have to come in, meet us, work with other students, and debate key issues. It's fun!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@mocrozier All I can say is lucky Lance!

[Julia Hope @JuliaHope2]

@RosemaryAHRich Can't wait to listen to it!
