Thank you so much for this post. (Although you don't know how long I spent panicking about the Vigenere cipher bits, I was convinced I'd got it wrong...)
It's #LoveYourPetDay! @hollywebb.bsky.social's Little Gems are perfect for pet lovers aged 5+. Meet Lettuce the guinea-pig, Humbug the rabbit, Albert the tortoise, Misty the kitten and Coco the sausage dog puppy in these beautifully illustrated tales celebrating the magic of pets. bit.ly/3ZIGhJB

So excited that this book - the first in a new series! - is published this year! It's a mystery set at MI5 during the First World War, with a cast of girl characters that I love so much.
Just dropped @hollywebb.bsky.social and friends off at the station on their way to the protest at the new trans-exclusionary Girlguiding policy. So proud of them all. (Their signs are fab.) I gather some folks are bringing binliners for a post-protest litter-pick - the most Girlguiding thing ever.
Ready, set - GO! Two fantastic new #LittleGems for Spring 2026. When tortoise Albert runs away, Ava realises her pet may not be as boring as she thought in new @hollywebb.bsky.social, while Hana and Ace learn to take time to enjoy the moment in new #VashtiHardy #MoonlightMysteryAgency
New #MG spy mystery publishing next Feb, available for pre-order now! I loved #AGirlsGuideToSpying by @hollywebb.bsky.social Thanks @rocktheboatnews.bsky.social @lizscottpr.bsky.social & @dannieprice.bsky.social

Oh, thank you so much for this - what a fantastic way to start the week!
A magical wintry tale from best-selling children's author @hollywebb.bsky.social, illustrated by David Dean. Perfect for ages 7+. 🐧
The Snowy Penguin is out now!
Happy reading!
Thanks so much for reviewing The Woodland Badger!
So happy to read this lovely review of The Woodland Badger!
The Woodland Badger by @hollywebb.bsky.social is another gentle yet inspiring animal story that will encourage children to use their voice to protect wildlife. Perfect for Year 2+, it's definitely one for classroom libraries.

My husband has taught human reproduction and development to the Cambridge medics for over three decades. When people start banging on about "only two biological sexes" he starts with "which sex: genetic, hormonal, or gonadal"?
Biological sex is not binary. www.scientificamerican.com/article/sex-...
You tell yourself that, darling.
I was practically a permanent resident in South Norwood Library as a child. Writers and illustrators, please do sign this open letter. Library cuts slowly steal away opportunities for creative children - all children, actually.
Authors and illustrators (and both) of Bluesky! I've shared the petition about the lambeth library cuts, but they'd LOVE some more authors to sign this open letter. #KidLitUK docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Orkney Library & Archive is a library AND an archive but did you know about the miniature library that is stored IN the archive?
Read on to find out more about the incredible Minervian Library, created by a group of young children in #Orkney more than 160 years ago.
So glad to see this. Creatives should be paid for use of our work. I've filled in the government consultation - I really hope it makes a difference...
Seriously, creative folks: Don't be afraid to let people know your stuff is out there for them, or worry that "now is not the time for that." People are stressed and freaked out and looking for the things that will give them a moment of rest and joy. It is EXACTLY the time for what we do. Tell them.
Please boost this post, ESPECIALLY if you’re a UK based visual artist, author or creative.
What our government is trying to do is predicated on GREED and nothing more.
If you love the arts then join us in trying to protect the livelihoods of those who create it.

Absolutely did a classics degree because of the Romans book in this series.
Reading my Waterstones email and realised that's me they're offering as a prize... ((I did know this was happening!) 😸
The 60th book in @hollywebb.bsky.social’s animal series has been published by @littletigeruk.bsky.social 📘
