.UNRWA shelters in #Gaza and northern Gaza are no longer safe. This is unprecedented.  

This war should be no exception, protection of civilians and civilian infrastructure, including United Nations buildings, applies to this conflict too.

Wars have rules.

Thank you IKEA for these clear and precise instructions

✨Suitcase S(witch) illustrated by Coralie Muce and published by Barrington Stoke is out today!✨

I had so much fun turning my fear of losing luggage on public transport into a witchy adventure.

I will never support an organisation that does this, by the way. Cowardly.

Authors must support illustrators.

We are next.

Nothing can truly replace artists. The world will be worse for trying.

Enjoy a sneak peak (Chap1) of the new A Clock of Stars #fantasy adventure Francesca Gibbons
Book 3, The Greatest Kingdom, publishes today - and we think it's the best one yet!

If anyone's wondering how parenting is going... today, I forgot that my book is out 👌🤦‍♀️ it's a good book, honest! I'm just *quite* tired

I've been lucky enough to read some early drafts of this and I can honestly say it's brilliant. A beautiful adventure story, set in the heart of the Serengetti. Definitely one for animal lovers.

This was a lot of fun! Lovely to be part of the awards ceremony, even though I was baby-bound so had to be virtual. I could feel the children's excitement all the way over in Oxfordshire 😃

Surprise! I wrote a series for 6+ readers, out in July. It’s about a tiny creature born from a sunflower who lives in a school garden with a bunch of animals. 🐿🐸🐭🐦

It’s been a real joy working with Usborne and super talented illustrator Kübra Teber. 🦋🌻

A belated happy world book day to all! Especially those lovely people who take the trouble to send photos to authors. Nothing is more magical than seeing stories you've had in your brain for years take on their own life 😊

So much wisdom in this thread, especially 'you're a writer because you write'. Tattoo it on my brain pls.

Step through the door in the tree and into a breathtaking adventure for today's book for bedtime: the epic A Clock of Stars by Francesca Gibbons, stunningly illustrated by chris riddell.

“Love doesn't just sit there, like a stone, it has to be made, like bread; remade all the time, made new.”

Children are capable of understanding so much more than we give them credit for. It’s always adults, who themselves weren’t talked to about these things as children, who get weird about these subjects when talking to kids.

Is this... a joke? One of my favourite programs 🥺 It's so special to have a show about the nature you can see on your doorstep. Accessible, everyday and wonderous nature. If you don't know about it, you can't protect it....
