Such an honour to work with the inimitable @lemnsissay and the @FoundlingMuseum to help make this powerful project happen ❤️Portrait (inside) by @sukidhanda . Buy an Observer for the feature in its full glory or read it here

When @FoundlingMuseum and I made this project we didn't envisage it would be on the cover of The New review in The Observer. Inside, it will reveal an "Historic picture" & testimony from some of the most incredible people I have ever known. Superheroes. Out on Sunday.

Never forget, READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. It's more important than how rich your parents are! So always make books central; make time to read to kids; and make sure you encourage them to read for themselves. #literacy

The havoc Covid is wreaking inside the NHS right now has to be seen to be believed.
Depressing that the @sajidjavid (and indeed NHS England bosses) are not being open & honest with the public about what's unfolding.
This is what is happening:

Oh no, first Jan Pieńkowski and now Shirley. So many cherished memories of reading both of these authors who will live on forever through their beloved characters. RIP & thank you for so many happy reading memories ❤️📖

It is with deepest sorrow that we announce that Shirley died peacefully in her sleep at home on Friday 25th February.

Another brilliant must read by @shattenstone with the endlessly surprising Tilda Swinton. Ace

"I’m thinking of retraining as a palliative carer.”
Tilda Swinton talks to me about grief, the impact of long covid, and why she is considering a career change

To all teachers, teaching assistants, heads, and librarians, I hope you have an utterly magnificent Christmas and take a moment to realise what an incredibly difficult but important job you've done in 2021. You've gone above and beyond for our children and I am in awe. Thank you.
