Thrilled to see the series @asianastroboy and I have been working on announced in @thebookseller! This has been a long time coming and we’re so grateful to @YA_Books for finding the Rani Reports series a wonderful home with @Rocktheboatnews! Get ready for lots of Mauritius facts!

Along with @Sally_Nicholls, I think that there's a need and room for picture books WITH MORE TEXT. Styles go in and out of fashion and there used to be such books. Short- text and longer-text picture books could live happily alongside each other, fulfilling a need. Any thoughts?
