I was once a football fan, playing anytime I could. But then I realized it wasn’t taking me anywhere, so I learned illustration and now I’m children illustrator
Illustrations is not about what you illustrate but what it means

But when book come first for younger once everything come easier and faster for

Because no need of you teaching them what he mean from the illustrations they will
@poppydelevin868 Poets like Michael Rosen have always used their words to draw attention to what power would rather keep quiet. Don't Mention the Children feels less like a political statement and more like a moral one
@Micho62719000 I’m happy to refer to Micho as Author Micho. And yes, in real life children are wonderfully complex curious, sensitive, noisy, kind, messy, and full of personality. When we talk about their needs, it helps to stay practical and compassionate, not dismissive.
@sendm4@MrPitbull07 Kids aren’t exaggerating — they’re reporting real pain. When a child says something hurts, the answer isn’t dismissal, it’s listening. Studies like this prove what they’ve been telling us all along.
@cierzo1@BarryNSmith79@joenutt_author Exactly this. SEND isn’t just a label — it’s the mechanism that makes support a right, not a favour. Without it, too many children would fall through the cracks. The breadth of the framework reflects real lives and real needs, not bureaucracy for its own sake.
@Tom_Joad1915@BonnikaBoo@Miss_Snuffy That makes sense. When something feels off in an author’s adult work, it’s natural to look at their children’s books more carefully. Being thoughtful about what we read — and what kids read — is never a bad thing.
@lwinckles Beautiful words. The Bible really has a way of meeting people in every season of life — in joy, in struggle, in searching. What I love most is how its message stays alive across generations, still guiding hearts today. Truth like that doesn’t fade
@equip6180@FiveMike73769@Jamesjonesik8 The phrase subject to the jurisdiction was debated, but the Supreme Court of the United States interpreted it in Wong Kim Ark to include nearly everyone born on U.S. soil. Unless US Congress amends the Constitution or the Court reverses itself, that interpretation remains the law
@PeterDMayr@preta_6 priming helps, but the system itself creates delays. If English were fully phonemic, kids wouldn’t need extra priming. The French reform is a great example: improved literacy without forcing current readers to relearn
@Violette_Author Totally! Kids relying on tech for basic facts and math misses the foundation we got in elementary school. Critical thinking starts with the basics! Are we doing enough to teach these fundamentals?
@Joelsharpee@USA_Polling@Quartz_Tower Economic policies, taxes, and tariffs all trickle down to what ends up in your paycheck. Not rocket science, but it definitely affects daily life!
@PeterDMayr@preta_6 Wow —The English spelling system’s irregularities really do create massive delays in reading acquisition, and it’s clear the system itself, not the kids or teachers, bears much of the blame. Early priming and research-based interventions could make a huge difference.
