Such a joy to talk to Reception this morning about @kimhillyard’s wonderful Gretel the Wonder Mammoth for #PenguinWBD - I loved hearing all the things that make the children happy!
As last week was World Book Day and because we love reading, Mrs Deutsch, a parent and publisher at Penguin books, came in and spoke to Reception about how books are published. Thank you very much Mrs Deutsch. @LEOenglish0@PenguinUKBooks
October 18th: Spookermarket by @PeterBently and @StephLaberis.
Super fun rhyming spookiness, featuring brilliant art and a story about the staff and customers of the shop working to stop an mischievous genie that’s been unleashed from a magic till. So good!
Free school meals: 200 children's authors condemn government https://t.co/y4q2Hg47Vx I am especially chuffed by this, as it gave me the chance to say how much I love Shirley Hughes. I DO think that the government would be kinder if they read her. And the journalist was AMAZING.
Books create belonging. They help us see each other, and understand one another. That's why every young person should have the chance to study books reflecting the racial diversity of UK society. This is how we want to contribute to that vision. #LitInColour (1/4)
