Harvey Price time then.

In 2016, I had an ill fated stint as the Social Media Producer on Loose Women on ITV. It was a disaster, I should never have applied for the job, I certainly shouldn’t have been given it. I could do the actual job standing on my head, but the politics of the place…woof.

Nicholas Parsons cut my hair. Which might end up being the name of my autobiography.

I went to the Barbie exhibition, and there was a woman of colour with her son and daughter and a pal. The boy was SO bored, until he saw a black doll. He went wild, leaping up and down, clapping his hands. “There’s a black one!”. I knew representation was important, but then I realised how much so.

One of the things about this study is that a lot of baby and toddler books are written in house, by editors. So the study reveals the whiteness of editorial in kidlit even if not explicitly. But, big picture, this trend is unacceptable. I remember so many promises www.theguardian.com/books/2025/o...
