Last Friday I had the pleasure of presenting at #PALA2025 in the Health & Stylistics SIG, sharing work on grief, narrative voice, and therapeutic reading in A Monster Calls. Proud to represent SHU Stylistics & already excited for #PALA2026 Uppsala! @pala2026.bsky.social @palapoeticsling.bsky.social

We loved joining @profsamwass.bsky.social & Waterstones #ChildrensLaureate @frankcottrellboyce.bsky.social at a Baby Lab to discover what happens to babies' brains when they're read to. Discover the neuroscience behind shared reading & how it enables children to flourish and thrive: bit.ly/44YCeMu
