You might remember this video a librarian sent me last year. A boy carved this otter after reading Jakub’s Otter. Signor Mancini would be proud. I’m visiting the school tomorrow - sadly, Aaron has gone to secondary school now.

So looking forward to this today. Can’t help but smile when I think of the nervous excitement of the young people getting ready to perform!

This isn't my giraffe, in fact it isn't anybody's. It's what's currently popular on Instagram, a 'making project', done by AI. A knife (upside down) cuts right through the drawing, ears get stuck over the eyes . . . then attached to its arse, finally, it's 10 times the size. 🙄 #edusky

An AI generated art project showing the 'making of a cardboard giraffe' . . . except there are lots of strange errors, which apparently, no-one has noticed?

There are so many ways for writers to get the attention of their readership, but I’m happy to be blissfully ignorant. To me, this is a substack.

Just to state, first off, authors DO NOT sell huge quantities of books whenever they visit schools - we often sell a big fat 0 - so it’s encouraging to get a preorder like this, with an update of more orders coming Monday.

I’ve been doing a lot of wondering today, with children in Notting Hill. One thing we wondered about is what exactly should be in a poem.

No way I can compete with the major poetry publishers who get collections stocked by bricks-and-mortar bookshops But I do have word of mouth and all you wonderful people here on Bluesky, pushing the numbers of readers of Whatever You Do, Just Don't far beyond the sales of the big boys. Thank you!

Some lovely stuff in here. Poems to enjoy reading. Poems that are fun to say. Poems that could be a great starting place for children's own writing. Really worth having in your collection - signed or otherwise.

My Thinking Cabin is nearly ready, but I promised myself the first book I’d review in here would be this - as I knew it would be a joy - so I couldn’t wait any longer. I’ll just stare at the boxes. It is a joy, review to come. (My cabin has been launched with some bizarre images) @afharrold.com

Still feel a newbie - writing prose for kids. Got lots to learn, but I love how major characters reveal much about themselves when relating to minor characters. So encouraged by reviewers who’ve noted the community spirit in WSR. Jonne Donne said it much better than I ever could!

My husband took the dog out. He found a box of free books outside a house on his route. He brought one home. He said he thought I’d like it. I told him he’s not clever and he’s not funny.

This arrived today. I had the privilege of reading the PDFs a few weeks back, so I could review it. Always good to have the real thing in your hands. Great stuff from @attielime.bsky.social
