Here is this week's BRILLIANT VIDEO AND DOWNLOADABLE CLASSROOM RESOURCE from the lovely @jenniferclaessen.bsky.social : timetunnellers.com/2025/08/20/a...

Allan Ahlberg, beloved children's author, dies aged 87 Working first with his wife Jane, and later with illustrators including Raymond Briggs and Bruce Ingman, he wrote more than 150 books

This makes me so sad. I read Peepo to Travers, my oldest son, every night for two years. He had other stories, but the last one before a kiss goodnight always had to be Peepo.
I loved his books…Each Peach, Pear, Plum…oh don’t get me started I’ll cry.

Cover of a children's book, white and green background colours. Foreground shows an illustrated child with long dark braids wearing a grey hoodie, black and white dotted leggings, with wings on her back. In the background is a tall, wobbly, tumbledown building. Title Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School appears above her head. Author's name Sinéad O'Hart appears beneath her feet, and beneath that again is the illustrator's name, Úna Woods.

Delighted to share the cover of my new book, Ellora McGee, Trainee Banshee: The New School! Art by @unawoods.bsky.social, pub Gill Books, Sept 4th. Ellora's just started at a new school, and it's hard to keep her budding banshee powers secret. But what if they're about to save the day? 📚🇮🇪💫

The very shiny time travel adventures of Netta Becker and the Timeline Crime @jenniferclaessen.bsky.social is definitely one to seek out. #kidlitUK

Me and Jennifer. I'm grinning so hard, and she's smiling in her beautiful warm way. I'm holding a copy of her newest book, Netta Becker and the Timeline Crime, which is gold and lovely. She's killing it in a gold lamé dress and I'm wearing my Popsy green book dress and carrying my rainbow tote bag from work.

Last night at @jenniferclaessen.bsky.social's launch for Netta Becker and the Timeline Crime! Giddy times (and the book has me HOOKED already)!

The shiny GOLD with black outline of a maze cover to Netta Becker and the Timeline Crime by Jennifer Claessen, which gives all the excitement of time travel in a summer holiday to Crete while not shying away from the crimes and horror that often gets airbrushed out of time travel novels. Cannot recommend enough!

I'm looking to KickFlip by @ldlapinski.bsky.social and Nate Yu--my copies are waiting at the library but I'm away this weekend, aghhhh!

And am tearing through this perfect summer holiday read by @jenniferclaessen.bsky.social -- it's making me want to board the next flight to Crete! (alt for deets)

Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation.

Guidance here: theaoi.com/news/the-cop...

Your rights are under threat from AI. It’s time to have your say! The Government recently launched a consultation on AI and copyright. Now is the time to have your say and make sure that legislators hear the concerns of creators.

Don't be intimidated by the number of questions - you do NOT have to answer them all. You can answer as many or as few as you like, and the ALCS has nice, simple guidance and advice for answering the important ones.
