AMAZING NEWS 🤩 The Comet is shortlisted for @Foyles Children's Book of the Year 2022! We're so happy for you @Joetoddstanton!!! 🌠🎉

Very sad news. David McKee was one of the loveliest, kindest, most talented creators I have ever worked with. His books brought me much joy and Not Now, Bernard will always be one of my absolute favourite books.

[Andersen Press @AndersenPress]

David McKee, beloved creator of iconic children’s books Elmer, Not Now, Bernard and Mr Benn has sadly died following a short illness. We all hope his spirit lives on for many more generations through his joyful, heartfelt stories.
