🖤 The floor is lava
💛 CHAOS

Been updating nearly 7yr old’s bedroom amidst a big autumn clean & had to get a photo of 1 of his book shelves. There are such incredible children’s books out there & I love what he’s got to read. For those with a 6/7yr old, what are they reading?

[Tom G 📕 @checkemoutbooks]

Love a monster story? Well, rather than reading The World’s Worst Monsters, why not try these fantastic monster adventures & there’s a book for everyone from EYFS - KS2! 📚

Please I am begging you. Write grammatically fucked up fics. Make disproportioned drawings. Produce things that will haunt you to your grave for how ugly you think they are. It’s still better than any AI content, because it’s yours. It’s still art, because it’s /you/.
