A brilliant interview. @tompalmerauthor got so many important points across in a short time; value of picture books, importance of sharing stories with an adult be that parent, teacher or librarian & made sure the illustrator was credited too. We need more of this on TV!

We loved hearing author @tompalmerauthor speak on BBC Breakfast this morning! An inspiring interview about the role of children’s books in communicating difficult topics such as war and conflict. Gorgeous spread of WAR DOG illustrations from @CarolinaRabei too 😍

Good morning,
today in 1862 Charles Lutwidge Dodgson, aka Lewis Carroll, told Alice Liddell a story in a boat on the River Isis that became Alice's Adventures in Wonderland

“One kid at a time, one school at a time” – books that explore male friendship are sparking change, tackling the rise of toxic influences like the "manosphere"
Celebrate the #Carnegies2025 winners how they offer boys richer, more emotional stories
theguardian.com/books/2025/j…
ALT Text from The Guardian reads '‘One kid at a time’: How children’s books on male friendship could combat toxic masculinity From Margaret McDonald’s Glasgow Boys to Nathanael Lessore’s King of Nothing, boys take centre stage in this year’s Carnegie-winning titles. Let’s hope that the male protagonists persuade more boys to pick up a book'
