Slightly distracted from my writing, yet inspired as always by the genius of #AllanAhlberg Reading for Pleasure 🧶 Are there any interesting papers about his work? I have to say I also love John Lawrence’s suitably dark & atmospheric illustrations

Thank you Aaron Becker we are indebted to you for giving us your time so generously this evening. You've given me a lot to reflect on. Hopefully, we can do this again next time.

What a privilege to see the creative thinking process & to listen to the calming voice behind the wordless( but far from silent) creation of The Last Zookeeper

Where would a belligerent Apple Pencil hide ?

Today I am galvanised to continue with the fictionalised & semi autobiographical children’s novel I am writing with a former refugee & friend from a Dunkirk camp. Trauma often paralyses our writing but today anger will drive it. #childhood #home #displaced #kidsLit #empathy
