THE HISTORY OF INFORMATION by @chrishaughton.bsky.social is top tier children’s nonfiction - stunning, insightful, and thought-provoking. A must for every classroom and library and in this age of disinformation, it’s the most important book you’ll read this year. #KidlitUK #KidBooksUK

My map of children's independent bookshops is updated regularly. Most provide an online service and they're all run by people who can make well-informed book recommendations. Make sure you support your local one if you want to keep it. Any missing, please let me know. padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

The History of Information by Chris Haughton is SO GOOD. Reading it slowly, a spread at a time, so I can reflect on it. Also I'm wondering how the publishers who are translating it handle pages like this...are the coloured dots on a different layer so you can move em around in translation I wonder?

We're looking at a photograph of a segment of the page of a children's book, The History of Information by Chris Haughton. It shows a simplified image of a face in matte black, with the brain shown in purple, against a bright pink background. Inside the brain a sentence is shown - "the man hit the rock" - broken into its constitutent parts of noun phrases and verb phrase. Each letter of the sentence has a series of dots above it which roughly match the length of each word...which would be tricky for a foreign publisher as their words would be different lengths, unless those dots are on a separate layer and moveable somehow?
