The right hand and left hand are missing.

That's because neither knows what the other is doing.

Sorry, but I really hope people who love THE WILD ROBOT movie know it was inspired by my book. It's mentioned in the credits but most people don't read that stuff. If you love the movie you should check out the book! There's more to the story and it's a quick read.

Yamina in a black hijab holding a copy of her book ‘Thriving in Your First Years of Teaching’.

Forgive me but I’m a tad excited to finally have a copy of my book in my hands!
Thank you to everyone who has supported me to get to this point!

I have 4 days annual leave (yay!) and will spend some of it helping one of my teacher friends prep their classroom/office for September. One of the many things I miss about teaching; though going in during summer was something I avoided because of the principle but I couldn't refuse to help!

Oh I'll be back! My new job is great, have the option to WFH, greater flexibility, feel more trusted, but nothing beats how rewarding teaching is and the fact that with every single interaction, you're making a real difference! Just not sure when I'll be back, could be months or years tbh...
