Prompted by the Guardian, I am reminded that I don't need to stay on a toxic Musky platform and should probably just face down the trial of learning how to use a new one. Bye guys! See you on Threads/Bluesky?

What a stellar list of amazing books. There is not another comparable genre /literature in the world which contains such diversity of subject matter, form, style, and structure grouped under a single word “children’s” - and no readership more deserving 🥳

[Alice Swan 🇺🇦 @AliSewan]

@NatashaFarrant1 @hilary_mckay Robbed, the both of you.
