One Monday morning, Horace Norton finds that a mouse has made a house in his hat. 🎩 What will Mr Norton do when, as the week progresses, the animals take over his bathroom, his bed - and even HIS BEARD?! Mr Norton's New Hat by @huwlewisjones.bsky.social and Corey Egbert is coming this March!

The most important thing in writing is to finish. A finished thing can be fixed. A finished thing can be published. A finished thing can be made into a movie. An unfinished thing is just a dream. And dreams fade if you don't hold on tight enough. So finish the thing.

Took my students on an edgelands field-trip today, following running water against its flow, from city centre to the springs where it rises. The social lives of water; river as agent, presence, organiser. Cold, crisp winter light. As the day died, we found this strange sign. Backwards in two senses.

Can I just take a minute to celebrate the #kidlit community here on Bluesky. Children’s book people weren’t just early adopters, they stayed. They stayed, and organized, and remained engaged, even back when it was quiet. They kept the fire burning until the sunrise. I see you #kidlit. 💙❤️

Never forget: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest positive impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids. Never stop reading to them, and helping them to read. Never stop changing lives. #literacy #kidlit #books

Welcome to Super Seabird Sunday (on Bluesky!) where we ask you to share videos, photos & artwork of seabirds to brighten up timelines. It has to be Puffins to start the day… #SuperSeabirdSunday

Ok bluesky crew, do you folks like dogs? This is Noggin and he’s pleased to meet you. He’s a very good boy. And he’ll be your friend always, if you have biscuits.

Looking for some nice intro blue sky snaps, you know, and found this on my phone. The first I took in Antarctica. Bow rope nicely cheesed. Sea ice. Snow falling. And a little Peppa pig lookout, for my daughter back home.
