Lot's of chatter about children's GN / comics recently, can't think why... A suggestion for kids who love GN and a spooky story - Suee and the Shadow, written by Ginger Ly and art by Molly Park.
It won our Reading Road map award back in 2018! #readingforpleasure #graphicnovel

If we care about the future of our children - we need a library & a librarian in every single school, to help every single child find the books that will make them readers! Libraries & librarians change children's lives FOREVER! #GreatSchoolLibraries

Tentatively dipping a toe into the querying pool and seeking an agent. Any other picture book people in the same boat? I’d love to connect with you!

Truly sad to hear of the passing of the wonderful Benjamin Zephaniah. Not only so many children's route into poetry for so many years but a compassionate human who had a powerful voice for unity. I'll be reading my copy of Funky Chickens tonight.
