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.

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!

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

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?!

Just this minute finished the extraordinary KIT from Megan Barker. Has anyone else read it? Such a powerful, intense and beautiful verse novel. Complex & compelling.
