It's always good to take some time and notice the small things in life that make us smile. @laurabakerbooks.bsky.social's ALL THAT GLIMMERS reminds us of these moments, these "glimmers." What are some glimmers in your life?

Well @markbradley.bsky.social… very high praise over here: he declared these his new favourite graphic novels (and he reads a lot of graphic novels!). He said he likes them because they’re about friends and kindness 🥰🥰 Perfectly pitched for this age!

Treating myself on the train back after a wonderful, whirlwind few days in London. Two publisher parties, two meetings, a book launch, countless giggles and chats with publishing friends… phew! I’m exhausted and invigorated 😅

My latest book is dedicated to a local primary school... they do so much to foster the children's love of books, and it does not go unnoticed! Schools are hugely important to authors and readers... I love to think about this particular book being used to get children dancing together in class! 💃

We don't seem to be taking this seriously enough. And it's not enough to say "just publish good books" - we do that...loads in fact. We have to make sharing books then reading books independently not just a 'nice' thing but a vital thing. Like "5 A Day" did for healthy eating awareness.

Making a starter pack for authors who do school visits, so schools can easily find us. This starts off one for primary schools go.bsky.app/5u2ArqX but I'll also do one for secondary. Let me know if you do school visits and you want to go on the list - and whether you do primary or secondary. Thanks.
