One of the all time greats, all three of my kids still read both Batty and Barmy Ballads regularly as part of their bedtime routines.

Happy Birthday David Attenborough! Here's a poem I wrote celebrating the great man that may or may not have inspired his latest BBC series:

Currently reading 'Mermouse Mystery' with my own 6 year old and it's an absolute banger. Michael's a legend and your wee readers could be too with a little help from the Adventure Mice.

Gorgeous letter from 6yr-old Michael!
He drew the Mousebase and even designed Hilltop House, the home Pedro set out from in our first book, ‘Adventuremice: Otter Chaos’!
His mum writes that our second book, ‘Mermouse Mystery’, was the the first chapter book he read by himself💛

It's #WorldPoetryDay. I record a poetry podcast most weeks. Here's the latest episode: rebeccaleek.substack.com/p/t… Loads of people listen. Apparently it's great. Rivers, meadows, salmon, greed, butter and potato dreams. Dive in! 🌷🐟⚖️ 🥔🧈

This is really grim and, at best, ill thought out. The children of Scotland deserve better and this undermines all the brilliant effort of authors, illustrators and adults working with children to create reading for pleasure communities.
Simply describe the storybook you want (e.g. “Create a storybook for a 5 year old explaining people in our community who help us”) and Gemini will create a unique 10-page illustrated storybook complete with custom audio narration!👇#NationalStorytellingWeek
