Kevin Dobbs Writer

A great way to spend a birthday 😀

This is the reason I wrote this book! (Immigration✅️, race✅️, flags ✅️) Schools are microcosms of society. As society becomes more divided, there is the danger of this happening in classrooms. Give children a story stimulus, a character to talk through and guide them through respectful conversations.

I have a year 6 class that got a lot from it. I wrote the kind of book that I like as a teacher. Short books, that stimulate thought and discussion. Ages 7-11 I'd say.

Love this. I'll be using this in class next week. Thanks for sharing.

The image is of a five star amazon review in which the verified purchaser identifies themselves as a teacher and parent and praises the book (We Are Home)'s engaging story and recommends it for teaching about inclusion.

As the new school year approaches, any teachers looking for books about inclusion might consider 'We Are Home.' Following another summer of division, this is a story of community. It's a thrill to know that it is already on some classroom shelves 😃 #teachersky #inclusion #pshe

Love this review on Amazon. Great feeling when someone really connects with the message behind a book. Growing up in an increasingly polarised world means the more positive messages we can get across, in any way, the better. #Kidlit #PSHE #primaryschools

A joy to receive a 5 star review but also to have someone understand the 'why' behind the book as well as the 'what' of the content. Thank you to Readers' Favorite readersfavorite.com/book-review/...

Thank you. I had one a week or so ago... tbh they had me for a little while before I cottoned on...

🎵Destruction leads to a very rough road, But it also breeds creation🎵
03.08.24: A fire started by rioters destroys Spellow Road Library and Community Centre, #Liverpool.
03.08.25 'We Are Home' is released. It's my 'creation' as a response to the destruction.

Scissors is just so relatable for any teacher (though it could equally be called gluestick lids but that doesn't scan quite as effectively)!!

The image is a book cover. It is a children's picture book written by Kevin Dobbs. It shows a young child of between 8 and 10 years old with a look of steely determination standing in front of a row of terraced houses.

New profile picture to match the styles of the characters in my new #picturebook illustrated by the wonderful Marian Dominguez. We Are Home is out on Sunday. I'm not sure which feeling is prevailing more today: excitement or nerves!! #Kidlit #writersky #booksky

The fire at the Spellow Lane Library and Community Hub in Liverpool inspired me to write a children's #picturebook about community and belonging. It is released on Amazon on August 3rd; one year on from the fire. It's my attempt at bringing something positive from those dark days. #hopeoverhate

Great work! Amazing how many themes are covered by this little lot... Easily digestible and leave plenty of time for discussion. Love it!

Fairly new to Bluesky so I've only just seen this. Great lists and great to see picture books promoted throughout Key Stage Two!

We Are Home- a KS2 (7-11) picture book perfect for home or #PSHE and #SEL lessons- is available to preorder on Kindle now. It's a book about community and belonging. It promotes #hopenothate and making positive change from negative events. #Kidlit #writersky #booksky #picturebooks

The image is a children's picture book cover. The book is called We Are Home and the author is Kevin Dobbs. It shows a child looking determined. In the background is a row of terraced houses.

August 3rd 2024, Spellow Lane Library and Community Hub, Liverpool was burned out in the summer riots. August 3rd 2025, my response, 'We Are Home,' is released. It's a book about community and how beautiful things can come out of bad circumstances. #loveyourlibrary #hopeoverhate #booksoverbigotry

I advocate for picture books throughout primary. Some children like or need to finish a story in one go. Some need pictures to aid comprehension and language acquisition. Some just find more beauty in them. Picture books distill complex themes to aid understanding of the world around us.

Less than 2 weeks 'til everyone else can get their hands on it! #selfpub #picturebooks #booksky

Just a proof copy for now but still a very exciting unboxing for a first-time author! #picturebooks #kidlit #booksky
