Every three months like clockwork it comes. I hold out hope that one time they'll forget, but they haven't yet. So while I pay the rent bill, who would like to buy a book?

Frustratingly brought a signed copy of your book from a very good bookshop but just sat down to read it and it’s not signed. Very sad.

“And so it is, another year goes by with teachers having to spend hours teaching this stuff, purely so that the government can (they think) test teachers’ ability to teach. And yet, what the teachers are being tested for is their ability to teach an out of date, inaccurate chunk of knowledge.”

Children will always need BOOKS to help them make sense of the world. I love the idea that children's books can be bridges connecting all children, crossing all barriers, helping them to imagine a better world – and to build it, one day. #books www.theguardian.com/childrens-bo...
