Hello,Ocean! released today by @postwavebooks.bsky.social is a triumph. Stephanie Fizer Coleman’s art- from the undulating modulated, tonal wave pages, alongside the watery words of wonder and discovery from @jamescarterpoet.bsky.social make Hello, Ocean! a joy to read, explore and hold.

Our gift book subscriptions are deliberately personal, unique to each reader (aged from 4 months to retired!) Each selection is different. Each selection is read and loved and recommended by us- two dedicated children’s booksellers.

I’m really proud of the variety and flexibility of our subscription service. It helps to know and read the books and love them too. So, Broken, from the incomparable X.Fang @pushkinchildrens.bsky.social is a top choice for our school leader’s #assembly book subscription,

Whenever I do a comic workshop, I get everyone to draw a character without looking at their paper. I always go first and love the reactions as things start to go wrong. It's a great little icebreaker and always gets a big laugh from everyone. Thanks to all at Phoenix Fest who joined in!

According to @penamerica.bsky.social, 64% of banned picture books feature #LGBTQ characters and stories, so receiving a Kirkus Star for our gay fairy tale feels pretty radical and special. @mrjamesmayhew.bsky.social @owletpress.bsky.social #KidLit #BookSky #EduSky

Nen and the Lonely Fisherman is a tender fairy tale with no heavy-handed moral and a moving celebration of love according to Kirkus Reviews

Authors, poets, illustrators and storytellers are happy to visit schools at any time of the year, not just on World Book Day (which is often fully booked months in advance). Celebrate reading on WBD and then arrange an author visit a few weeks later to build on it.

This is thuggery from Trump and Vance, plain and simple. They are bullying the brave true patriot Zelensky into accepting a deal which effectively hands victory to Russia. Unless the UK and Europe step up, we are facing a betrayal of Ukraine.

While I fully understand the anxiety some authors have about school visits, as a Black children’s book creator, I definitely underestimated the impact me showing up at a school visit has on a child and their worldview of who gets to do what for a living…especially on the Black children present.
