To celebrate the release of That’s My Daddy, illustrated by the wonderful Dan Taylor, I’d like to invite you to a digital launch party with @EgmontUK
Join us for a Twitter Q&A from the comfort of your own home, with or without your daddy, from 3pm tomorrow.

I'm delighted to be a mentor for #AllStories2024. The programme will once again offer in-depth mentorships to children's book writers from underrepresented groups, alongside vital grassroots events. If you're looking to develop your work, do check it out: https://t.co/9x1CYDEf7D

Just found this pic! I can’t remember taking it or meeting him but wow!

Wonderful talk at @WritersCentre with @forthygreatpain and @LomasSal. For Thy Great Pain is a beautiful novel, it was a treat to hear Victoria Mackenzie talk so eloquently about it. And I got my book signed! Can’t wait for the Ruskin one. #norwich #julianofnorwich #margerykempe

I’m not sure I can leave this place. This is the view from our holiday cottage!

@MichaelRosenYes We went in Norwich with our junior school. I think there were around 45 of us in total! All the kids were enthralled and loved it.

So D found a slug on our downstairs toilet seat the other night… and in that room is the door to the cellar and I just can’t help thinking that maybe the king of all slugs is ruling his kingdom from our cellar, and waiting to overthrow us. I don’t dare open the door… send help!

After reading this I don’t really know how anyone in my household is still alive. https://t.co/bs0XTZmQbP

@alisonflood The Ottoline series by Chris Riddell ticked that box in a big way for us! And the Grimwood books by Nadia Shireen are wonderful.

@thamesclippers why was our party of nine (2 x families, 4 adults and 4 children plus one with a freedom pass) not told to purchase family tickets at a cost of £37.80 rather than being advised to buy individual tickets for the children and to tap in and out for the adult tickets?

[Ruth Redford @root_toot]

@thamesclippers why do I have a pending charge of £35.70 after two journeys on the clipper Thursday 16th from Cutty Sark to Embankment (return)? The cost should have been £17.40 total. I tapped in and out on both journeys. 1/2

@greateranglia What is the alternative route please? We’re booked on the 13.28 from Liverpool Street to diss
