I'm declaring it... this is THE book of the summer, so snaffle a copy of your very own asap. It's filled with family & food & Rome & sunshine aaaaand the most delicate, lovely little romance. It's an atmospheric page-turner that'll leave you smiley and happy. An utter delight!

I RACED through this utterly fabulous one over Easter, it's Winter themed but hey, that doesn't matter. A short read. An impactful read. An adult novel told from a child's point of view so skillfully. Brightly Shining by Ingvild Rishøi.

Got a whole lovely heap of 'perfect for World Book Day' tried & tested teaching resources on my website. See link in bio. FREE to download and fun to use across the whole school.

Author goal unlocked! We are beyond thrilled to see Justin (aka Mr Tuuuuuumble) enjoying Puddling! on CBeebies. What a treat! Thank you! #UKKidLit

Today I have actual poems published in an actual book, Cosy Poems!

The Power of Quiet contains lines which have been floating around my mind for quite some time. There's a whole (PB) story hugging the sentiment those lines express. So grateful to see them stepping out, quietly, into the world.

"there is joy in the little things" and the little things really are BIG to little listeners, don't you think?
So grateful for this gorgeous review of PUDDLING!

It's REALLY* messy. But. Vomit draft is DONE.**

*REALLY
**for now 😂🤦

You can't go wrong when @a.f.harrold name is on the cover, and this was no exception. Gripping, immersive and lyrical.
Then, there are those rich illustrations from @levi_pinfold - simply wonderful

This collection is brilliantly playful, esp Train.

A vibrant, energetic collection of poetry - Alex's love of language leeeeeeeaaaaps from the pages. @fireflypress

An ABSOLUTE treat to dive into the latest poetry collection from Alex Wharton fab artwork from Rhi Smith
Interspersed with short paragraphs where Alex talks directly to his readers - I LOVE the link he makes between poetry & music & raps, together with a BIG emphasis on poetry as a performance 1/2

This is the one I shared with my class today, from #TheStarWhale by Nicola Davies and Petr Horacek

Woohoo! Happy #NationalPoetryDay I adore writing it, teaching it & of course... reading it. Playing with words and rhythm and sounds is pure joy (most of the time😂).
Here's just a few of my absolute fav tomes to delve into - some old, some new.
Gotta love a reeally good poem, don't you think?!

My writing buddy... she's not so great on rhyming words today! 🤦#poetrywriter #amwriting

Hi! I'm Emma, this is me looking for words... and possibly the little humans I teach 😅
