“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”

It costs a lot less to house people.

Finland ends homelessness and provides shelter for all in need - scoop.me

In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Why? The country applies the "Housing First" concept agains homelessness.

This is an absolute stunner. Top drawer fiction. Brilliant world building, great characters, fantastic plot and story and stunning twists and turns. A must read.

Dragonborn is out TODAY! Soaring off to bookshops across the country and into the hands of young readers. It is, I think, the very best book I've written, and I'm so excited to see it fly. Farewell little dragon, safe travels! X

I’m not anti AI and I have used it when I was struggling for inspiration but as I watched the children then struggle I felt I had bipassed the understanding of how to help them.

If we can’t be bothered to go through the creative process of creating a wagoll then why on earth should the kids?

This is a brilliant book to read aloud and share with a class.

“POP! Goes the Nursery Rhyme” by @fuse8.bsky.social and @atsurumi.bsky.social is a joyful anarchic romp through a host of nursery rhymes as the ever more disruptive interruptions cause chaos. Joyous fun with a class #PicturebookPage

Fave book I’ve read this year, funny, philosophical, beautifully plotted, redemptive and just truly lovely. It was wildly different to anything I’ve read in ages

“The Undead Fox of Deadwood Forest” by #aubreyhartman is a delight. @littlebrown.bsky.social

Happy World Glacier Day!!

As we enter into the International Year of #Glacier Preservation, we must:

- redouble efforts to scale up political ambition for widespread emissions reductions

- fight to prevent every tenth of a degree of warming

- Ensure countries submit 1.5C aligned NDCs at COP30

Where is everyone? I thought Jan/Feb were quiet but March has proved to be equally bad for sales. Is it social media (not just this site that’s failing me) or is it something else? I have signed books and new releases…

So sad to hear of the loss of the beautiful talent that was Roberta Flack.

“The Green Piano” by Roberta, #TonyaHolden and #HaydenGoodman is a beautiful autobiographical picturebook recounts how her father got a battered piano and this led her to chase her dreams #RIPRobertaFlack #PicturebookPage
