Review Of The Day! 👀 Thanks TheWriteReads for sharing Anita Loughrey’s review. 🫶
I had brilliant time writing this collection for Scholastic UK Classic Collection of folktales. The research behind them has taught me lots. #bookforkids

School friends if you haven’t come across the Lenny Lemmon series by Ben Davis then get some copies into the library. Brilliantly funny stories about Lenny who tries to help others but it always ends in chaos somehow! Fabulous illustrations throughout too!

I'm delighted to inform you that I have two events at Edinburgh International Book Festival on 24th August. At 11:15, I’ll be reading from my picture book, Confetti, and at 18:45, I’ll be in conversation with Jordan to discuss our two memoirs. (Ticket links below.)

I love a story of a young woman’s coming of age/reckoning with life as much as anyone, but PLEASE send me more novels that feature women of 40+!

Just read Ice Cream Boy because a) Maisie Chan - author/screenwriter recommended it at Falkirk LRS book group last week and b) it’s our book group choice for next week! Next up is Maisie’s Danny Chung 😍 and I’ll juxtapose that with some short stories by Kyoto Nakajima
