Really enjoyed contributing to this alongside @jakehope.bsky.social, @richardruddick.bsky.social and @rcharlesworth.bsky.social. Graphic novels are an essential part of the classroom reading diet.

#NewIllustrationOfTheDay by Brian Fitzgerald from Taking The Long Way Home by Jake Hope. Colourful, imaginative adventures happen when Uncle Jerome collects you from school. Including being chased by spotty pterodactyls. From Scallywag Press 10 April @jakehope.bsky.social @scallywagpress.bsky.social

The government's preferred proposal on #CopyrightAndAI will have a crippling effect on the UK's creative industries.

So, if you're NOT a creative, but you value the arts and like living in a country that has a healthy creative industry and can spare the time to object to this proposal, please do!

Hello #kidlituk_intro I'm Jake Hope and am a librarian without a library. I review books, have written a couple of picturebooks and look after the Yoto Carnegies. Looking forward to being on here!
