Like most people I automatically switch to @barringtonstoke.bsky.social too. Fabulous books for all learners. Also important to champion that authentic voice which is why I've chosen Wider than the Sea by @serenamolloy.bsky.social

Only spotted this now. Thank you Kirsten❤️
Visited an amazing library with the most beautiful view in Dun Laoghaire - where I spotted The tree that sang to me by @serenamolloy.bsky.social and George Ermos
This verse novel hit with a punch and I'm crying my eyes out. A different type of grief, loss, change and growing up. Ending in hope.

Starting a new writing project and having to remind myself it's okay not to see all the way to the end. That's the fun of writing!📚💙

I am totally blown away! Got my PLR statement from UK libraries today and my books were borrowed thousands of times this year🤯 Thank you librarians for getting them into the hands of young readers. Libraries are magical places and provided a multitude of services for so many👏
