Mud Boy The sound of Sam's life was like the best piece of music you have ever heard. Everyone liked Sam, and Sam liked himself. But then one day the mud words begin and they get inside his head - and Sam can...

Thank you for this book. I love that it encourages our children to communicate and share their experiences so we can connect and support them.

The deep impact bullying has on a child doesn’t end when the bullying stops, it clings onto parts of them for the rest of their life. Many adults talk with pain - or can’t talk at all - about the bullying that happened to them in the past. Bullying is for life, not just for schooldays. #antibullying

When our son left for uni, many years ago, he gave us each a fountain pen, along with writing paper, envelopes - no stamps though! This will always be my favourite fountain pen, every day. It’s a faithful Parker.

Same! I’ve just told my husband he’s going to have to alert me to the alert. Which, I guess, is how a good marriage works anyway.

Happily avoided by me. There is a Mud Boy page - but it’s overseen by the illustrator, Amy Crosby
