Now listening to @chrishaughton.bsky.social speaking at the IBBY “Whose History?” conference. His book The History of Information is one of my absolute favourites. #kidlituk
THE HISTORY OF INFORMATION by @chrishaughton.bsky.social is top tier children’s nonfiction - stunning, insightful, and thought-provoking. A must for every classroom and library and in this age of disinformation, it’s the most important book you’ll read this year. #KidlitUK #KidBooksUK

📚 What stories do we tell children about the past?
📚 From whose point of view are these stories told?
📚 Whose lives are considered important — and whose are forgotten?
📚 What are historical “facts,” and who gets to interpret them?
We’ll explore these questions at our conference on November 8th!

I wish folks better at organizing and publishing than me, like @nikadubrovsky.bsky.social and @chrishaughton.bsky.social could figure out how to turn a book like People's History of the United States into a series of kids books like History of Information!
