Thrilled #StolenHistory is up for a British Book Award. Children's books are team efforts, so my thanks to illustrator Jen Khatun, editor Phoebe Jascourt, star publicist Lizz Skelly. Despite the tedious culture war on empire, change is happening. #Empireworld #Empireland www.sathnam.com/empire/

Thanks to everyone who has supported Empireworld so far 🙏🏾. No 2 in the bestseller list this week. Beaten, ironically, by a biography of King Charles III.

1 in 7 UK primary schools do not have a library; in our most disadvantaged communities, 1 in 4 schools don’t have one. That’s why I am supporting the #LibrariesForPrimaries campaign, to get a library into every UK primary school. librariesforprimaries.org.uk
