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 Holly Webb Holly Webb’s animal stories are always absolutely perfect. Gentle, educational, heart-warming and empowering, they challenge children to protect wildlife and stand up for what they believe in…

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.

Sex Redefined: The Idea of 2 Sexes Is Overly Simplistic Biologists now think there is a larger spectrum than just binary female and male

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.

Open letter from Authors and Illustrators to Lambeth Council in support of Lambeth Libraries. A call to halt the proposed £1m cut! Dear Lambeth councillors and officers, We are authors, illustrators, and book industry workers writing to ask you in the strongest of terms to halt the cuts to Lambeth Libraries that you announced las...

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...

Milly, cosplaying as a chicken.

Amen
Do better teaching your sons how to be good people, good men, good citizens.
Take the game systems away
Encourage them to socialize
Clamp down hard on bullying and misogyny

A shelf of archive boxes

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!) 😸

"When Mexico sends its people, they're sending their best. They're sending firefighters to help solve American problems. They're bringing fire fighting uniforms. They're bringing fire fighting equipment. They're bringing kittens down from trees. And all, I assume, are good people."

The Bold Kitten is published today! This is Amal and Hana's story of finding a home, and I loved writing it. The 60th book in my Animal Stories series - the first book was published in 2006, the year my 18-year-old twin sons were born!

I feel your pain. 🤯

Oh! Those are perfect paws!
