Why do the Carnegies matter? ๐ The Carnegie Awards celebrate excellence in illustration for young readers, showcasing how powerful images can captivate young minds, spark imagination and foster a lifelong love of books ๐จโจ #Carnegies2025
Just finished this in preparation for a film I am making with @Literacy_Trust and @HMD_UK. It will be published - with resources - in January 2025. If you're interested, thank you. You can sign up for a reminder about the film here: https://t.co/kVrK2N2Z4b
Hearing authors share the stories behind their books sparks curiosity and opens up new perspectives for young readers! We love how shadowing materials inspire shadowers to explore diverse, exciting reads. ๐ #Carnegies2025
@Booktrust@wilmingtonboys Ashamed to say that I forgot to thank @WGSBPTA who very kindly support us by providing the funding to do this every year. Without their help we would find it very difficult to give all our year 7 students a free book.
Great news @wilmingtonboys the @Booktrust#BookBuzz books arrived in school and Miss Netherwood and I have them all sorted and ready to hand out to year 7 & 8 students. They're going to be so thrilled, they've been asking how long they'd have to wait! ๐
Can't believe I follow @tompalmerauthor and have chatted Chelsea/Leeds with him but failed to realise that 'Over the Line' is about @ChelseaFC player Jack Cock, Chelsea's first superstar signing. @RickGlanvill did you know about this children's book? โฝ๏ธ๐

Only 2 classes done so far but @FleurHitchcock & @NateLessore are proving really popular. @wilmingtonboys really appreciate all that @Booktrust do to keep young people engaged in reading.
Did you know that the Great Fire of London started on this day, 2nd September, in 1666? Here are some books you can share today to learn more about the fire and the people it affected.
Popped into @wilmingtonboys to prepare for the new academic year and got a nice surprise. Cataloguing @paolini 's book, 'Murtagh', ordered from @Petersbooks, and found that it's a signed copy. Always nice to point out to students, a popular series. ๐
