If you're looking for new children's books, @tygertale has updated his crowd-sourced list of the Best Children's Books of the 21st Century. I'm so honoured to see Tyger & Varjak on a wonderful list that shows this really is a golden age. Just have a look!

This is a golden age of children's literature. There are books being published today that will shape the minds of generations; life-changing books whose readers will change the world. There really is a book for EVERYONE now - if we can just help every reader find those books!
@MrDFox42 Thank you so much for reading Tyger with Year 7 - please wish them HAPPY READING from me, and please do let me know how it goes, I'd love to hear what they think!

'Rocking Reindeer' is still one of my most popular Christmas project ideas . . . one paper plate, no leftovers, no waste. 👍

Honestly @PieCorbett’s talk for writing, mixed with #colourfulsemantics is saving my class in terms of writing.
You CANNOT write a sentence until you’ve heard it in your head. You need to compose it. We all do it, every day. Children need to be taught it. #oracymatters
Class sets/reading groups/Christmas gifts/prizes - ridiculously cheap offers on my book ‘The Budgie Likes to Boogie’, postage included. Contains all my poems about animals including ‘Walking With My Iguana’ and the ‘Sssssnake Hotel’. Details here: https://t.co/DYBl16vi3y
@jonnybid That really is extraordinary. I wouldn't know how to advise her on moving forwards from there with art, but I would definitely encourage her to keep drawing whatever she wants to draw - and congratulate her on this brilliant piece!
Each week, our Year 5/6 Reading Buddies go and read empathy-rich picturebooks and talk about empathy with pupils in EYFS and KS1. Between them, they've created a bank of 20 questions to use as a starting point. Please feel free to download from my Padlet.

No. 16 in my #FavePicturebooks25: “Astro” by #ManuelMarsol.
A surreal space tale of friendship, loss, and wonder—psychedelic art meets cosmic questions. Achingly beautiful and deeply human. A true wonder that remains long after you close the book #PicturebookPage
