🌲 Shadow Creatures Giveaway!🌲

Tove was 12 and Liva 9, when the Germans occupied Norway. They remember everything as if it happened yesterday.

We are celebrating the release of Shadow Creatures by the amazing @chrisvickwrites. Read on to find out more about this story of bravery, resilience, rivalries and shadow creatures in the night ⬇️

Ends 25.10.24

Mose and her daughter Agna are incomers in the village, treated with suspicion. But young Liva, left out of the secrets her sister Tove and brother Hakken share, idolises Agna and follows her everywhere.

Unwittingly, they lead the German soldiers to a perfect island. Once a haven for picnics and story-telling under the midnight sun, it is transformed into a grim POW camp. This is an unlikely place to find buried treasure, but it's there.

Friendships are made and broken, family trust is turned upside down and lives change forever as Tove and Liva recall their childhood experiences of living through WW2 in a story that moves from light to darkness to light again.

🌟 Summary 🌟

Refugee is a powerful word. One that conjures opposing emotions. For some it provokes feelings of fear and hate, for others the need for compassion, understanding, and empathy.

In this celebrated poem, “Refugees,” Brian Bilston tells both sides of the story by cleverly crafting a verse that can be read backward and forward to convey two opposing views.

Brian Bilston is often described as the “Poet Laureate of Twitter” (now X) and this much admired poem, perfectly accompanied by artwork from illustrator, Jose Sanabria, is a wonderful way to explore this emotive issue as you realise that it’s not just the words that have been reversed!

A labour win is brilliant news for Education… we hope!!!

In the UK there are more teachers NOT teaching than teaching. Please can we now have properly funded schools to:

✅ Repair crumbling buildings
✅ Be able to fully support pupils with additional needs
✅ Afford the extortionate energy bills
✅ Pay teachers at their actual point on the pay scale
✅ Appoint the best candidate for the position at the school and not the cheapest!
✅ Have actual qualified teachers teaching pupils
✅ Reduce class sizes

✅ And while we’re at it. Bin single-word Ofsted judgements (which have led to headteachers tragically taking their lives & huge numbers of teachers to leave) and introduce a fair, accountable and collaborative system.

Just maybe, teaching will become the profession it used to be ❤️

Oh and they might be able to afford luxuries, such as books!!!
