SCAREDY CAT, the fourth title in the Bigg School series is out TODAY! This time the year 7s of Henry Bigg Academy are off on a residential trip. Can secret ‘scaredy cat’ Ajay get through the three days unscathed? As always, my words are brilliantly brought to life by Jess’s hilarious illustrations.

Today is last chance to have a say in government’s proposed plans to change copyright law. This is very scary for all UK creative industries. Please see @alcs-uk.bsky.social @dacs.org.uk AOI, SOA for links & guidance on the form & to write to your MP #makeitfair #paythecreators #handsoffmycopyright
