Haven’t got a book deal at the moment. Hoping I’ll get one next year, but even if I never get another one, at least this book exists. I’d love you to read it. So much so that I’ll happily send you a link to a FREE Kindle edition if you want one:

Ah that’s lovely to hear. A very merry Christmas from Monkey HQ here! :)

Cover of The History of Information by Chris Haughton

My husband has TAKEN @chrishaughton.bsky.social History of Information & is refusing to give it back, so I guess it’s now his Christmas present!

Ha! That’s lovely to hear. Merry Christmas :)

We are pleased to share that our confirmed keynote speakers include Lauren Child, an award-winning author and illustrator, and @chrishaughton.bsky.social, the children’s author, illustrator, and designer.

Now listening to @chrishaughton.bsky.social speaking at the IBBY “Whose History?” conference. His book The History of Information is one of my absolute favourites. #kidlituk

Thanks mark! And it’s for all ages really too. I think it’s for adults just as much as children

10 year old me would have absolutely LOVED this book. Looks so cool.
