Our beautiful literacy library has a brand new look. Our boards have been updated with the most colourful artwork from some of our favourite books. Don't they look spectacular?!

Thank you @sarahshaffi and @guardian for this brilliant article on our #BookTrustRepresents research into creators of colour and also the impact representation in children's books and their creators has on children and their reading habits https://t.co/07KDeuFq8M @Booktrust

The brilliant Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate @JosephACoelho is here to talk about his own experiences.

He shares a memory of working on an awards longlist - that had no men of colour on it, and the stress response it caused, as a reminder of the feeling he might not belong.

[Emily Drabble @EmilyDrabs]

Our wonderful @UKLaureate @JosephACoelho is going to give children (and the nation) amazing inspiration to get them writing poems with his #PoetryPrompts - EVERY WEEK on @BookTrust website starting on @PoetryDayUK 6 October! Find out more here on https://t.co/XCVRU6q9mr

Thanks for coming. We had such a good time with @jwilsonwriter. We learned LOADS about writing stories and what an amazing country Jamaica is.

@Jo_Bowers @rapclassroom @knchimbiri Thanks @Jo_Bowers ✨

[Jo Bowers @Jo_Bowers]

@rapclassroom @knchimbiri This would be a great picture book by @jwilsonwriter read alongside it, recommended read for @nationalpoetryday this year.

[Darren Chetty @rapclassroom]

Brilliant new book from @knchimbiri. Rich in knowledge and beautifully produced this would be suitable for key stage 2 classrooms.
