I believe this is a golden age of children's literature. There are books being published today that will shape the minds of generations; life-changing books whose readers will change the world. There really is a book for EVERYONE now - if we can just help every reader find those books!

Ah, my ears were burning and now I know why 🤣🤣 Nothing bad, I hope? Just read Going to Plan and it is AMAZING!! Couldn’t put it down until I had relished every word. Not even the dog whining to go for a walk distracted me.
Much love 🧡

Beyond the Secret Garden
Drawing on and expanding their long-running column for Books for Keeps, Dr Darren Chetty and Professor Karen Sands O’Connor trace how Black and racially minoritised characters have been represented…
Beyond the Secret Garden is my favourite bit of @booksforkeeps.bsky.social & the new book by @ksandsoconnor.bsky.social & @darrenchetty.bsky.social should be read by all involved in children's books in any capacity. Karen wrote a piece for TeenLibrarian #KidLitUK

Today is my 21st anniversary of working in library land. Libraries are a world away from what people think they are and that is what makes them special. There is always something in a library to offend someone. They are secretly subversive and revolutionary. Books save lives 📚
