Louie!!! That is the loveliest thing to hear - thank you 🙏🏽 xx

Grateful to @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social for sharing the poignant final page from PEACE ON EARTH written by me and illustrated by @dc-litchfield.bsky.social ❤️ EVERY child has the right to live their lives in peace. They are the peacemakers of tomorrow. Please let’s be the peacemakers of today 🕊️🤍💙

Indeed - it’s how we treat our libraries I think - only appreciating them once we’re on the brink of losing them!

Absolutely this!! 💗

Reading with children from birth changes lives - so let's work together to make it a reality for EVERY child. 💪🏽💪🏽❤️📚
