‘Representation is not a privilege, it’s a Right‘...grateful to be part of the change that’s taking place. We want to normalise ‘representation’ to be truly inclusive of wider society. All children should feel represented in books and stories to give them the value they deserve.
@HalilMrT4Real I have no doubt you are doing that Mr T. Congrats and InshaAllah you will smash it in the new role. Remember always here if you need any books. X
My acceptance speech last night was a pure mind blank moment, and I didn't say what I wanted, so just to add a huge thank you to everyone for their support. Books build empathy and we should shout from the roof tops about children's books. Hope, empathy, joy.
Heartbreaking news, the bold, brilliant and inspiring Alex Wheatle has left this world. He paved the way for so many authors of colour and was an inspiration in the industry. May he rest in peace and power.
