@5getbookish A very big 10. I just finished Boot and loved it. A small story with a big heart. Can’t wait for this to come into the bookshop.

@5getbookish I didn't see it on publisher news today! 😨

[Holly J @fablepatchtree]

@5getbookish Oh my goodness. It's been a while since I've been this excited for a new title. 😻

[Holly J @fablepatchtree]

@AbieLongstaff @MESalisbury Oh, the horror 🙀!

[Holly J @fablepatchtree]

@5getbookish I want to see some school mischief between Morrigan and Hawthorne!

[Holly J @fablepatchtree]

@5getbookish Do you have any proofs for a bookseller who is going crazy for book 2😁?

As a children’s bookseller I want my department to reflect this. What more can #booksellers do? Look at your tables/displays - who do they represent? What do you read at story time? What does your promotional material look like? What are the books you always recommend?

[Holly J @fablepatchtree]

It is crucial children have access to diverse books! They cultivate a positive attitude and help readers become curious about our wonderful world. Why wouldn’t we want to encourage discovery, experience and knowledge in children? #ReflectingRealities https://t.co/WrQPiJE8kA

[CLPE @clpe1]

1% of children’s books published in 2017 had a BAME main character

Ensuring that children’s books reflect reality helps to fight against visual cultural conditioning and creates cognitive awareness. It’s so important.
