We do enjoy The Bedtime Bear (although perhaps best suited to toddlers). And Harry and the Dinosaurs still gets asked for a lot.

It’s #DyslexiaAwarenessWeek in Scotland this week and in the rest of the UK next week. As a dyslexic reader myself I wanted to use #KidsBooksFriday this week to celebrate brilliant, accessible and super-readable texts of all kinds.

Book cover for Reek by Alastair Chisholm, illustrated by George Caltsoudas showing a young person with a helmet and rocket books swinging through a futuristic Edinburgh via a rope. Book cover for Wonderfully Wired Brains by Louise Gooding showing a young person with short hair and glasses wearing a green hoodie. Around their head are a myriad of different things from animals to basketballs, pencils, paint brushes and games controllers. Book cover for Ink Girls by Marieke Nijkamp and Sylvia Bi showing three girls with papers in their hand as if passing our leaflets, hovering over a medieval European style city. Book cover for The Horse Dreamer by Holly Surplice showing a sketch style drawing of a girl riding a galloping horse.

A bookseller who went out for a run this morning. Getting back into a routine as I train for the 2026 London Marathon for @booktrust.org.uk, and I'm aiming for to raise £2000 for my 40th year! I know how much great work they do and how much they care about book accessibility.

We're doing a Pizza Witch signing at the wonderful @wonderlandbookshop.bsky.social tomorrow in Retford! Come along and say hi!

If you can't make the signing, we'll also be signing and dedicating copies bought online from wonderlandbookshop.co.uk/product/pizza-witch-signed-and-dedicated-pre-order/ 🍕
Image reads: Pizza Witch, 20th September 2025, Wonderland Bookshop, Retford, 1pm. There's a small version of the Pizza Witch book cover, an illustration of Roxy, a witch with pink hair, tapping pizza slices with her black cat familiar, George, in a dark purple woodland scene. There are also little circles with cartoon versions of Sarah and Stef!
