The Times Chickenhouse Prize is open for submissions. I had been working on my story for a year, thought it was never going to be published and then this happened!!! ⬇️

Our children will have to live with a changing climate, so need to be equipped to understand the challenges they will face. Attached is an article & linked letter (still open for signatures) to the Education Minister urging her to embed climate change in the curriculum. www.tes.com/magazine/new...

Ministers urged to ensure climate change is taught across curriculum

Experts say teachers want more professional development support to teach climate change and sustainability

I’m listening to @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social’s Nush and the Stolen Emerald which I’m loving and is brilliantly narrated by Manjeet Mann.

I’m a huge fan of @barringtonstoke.bsky.social's titles and cannot wait to read Puloma and the Bear by @jasbinderbilan.bsky.social & Skylar White and What it was like to be an Ancient Egyptian by @writerdavidlong.bsky.social & Stefano Tambellini. Both out 13/03 for 9+ readers. 🥰

The two books. Puloma and the Bear’s cover shows a girl with brown skin wearing jeans, a long-sleeved red top and a yellow cap and with a sky blue backpack being followed along a path in a wooded area by a large black bear on all fours.

What it was like to be an Ancient Egyptian shows two adults and a child. The man wears what looks like a white skirt and is holding a sheaf of a cereal crop over his left shoulder and a sickle in his right hand. The woman is wearing a long, blue, sleeveless dress and wears gold jewellery. The child has long black hair in bunches, is wearing a long, white, sleeveless dress and is holding a wheeled toy animal.

Proofs for NAELI AND THE SECRET SONG have just landed!! One step closer to it being a real book! Expect history, adventure, a dark mystery! Themes of de-colonising the curriculum, a mirror and window into the past where I shine a light on Naeli’s story www.waterstones.com/book/naeli-a...

There’s a really enlightening documentary on BBC3 about this. Modern day slavery linked to scams, people imprisoned in scamming factories in places like Myanmar. Ignored and enabled by Meta. Worth a look!
