I’ve made a second UK Kids Book Chat starter back with the new arrivals and those I couldn’t fit on the first list. There’s still room on this list so do let me know if I’ve missed anyone or if you want to be added. And apologies to anyone I’ve added to both by mistake!

Our first #AuthorCheerleaders here features @camcauthor.bsky.social. If you haven't read Call Me Lion, you should. It is a sensitive, informative and thoroughly beautiful book. It highlights selective mutism, a condition which is rarely written about, with empathy and love. A superb book
