Happy new year #uklamembers.  RT to win a copy of 'Beyond the Secret Garden' by Darren Chetty & Karen Sands O’Connor. Trace how Black & racially minoritised characters have been represented in ‘the secret garden’ of British children’s literature from its earliest stages.

I’ve created a simple acronym to help pupils remember how to approach quotation analysis. NQA encourages pupils to move beyond just identifying techniques and think more critically about why they’re used and what effect they create. Download 👉 tinyurl.com/5dkwu4et

We have had a rough time recently due to poor health -- so this weekend with all 5 of our children (coming from as far as Tokyo and Germany) is even more precious. My family is my everything ❤️

It’s March, a new month, which means it’s time for me to give away a class set of novels via my book shop A New Chapter - Children's Bookstore. For a chance to win, simply retweet this lil tweet.

Happy World Book Day! As children around the world celebrate their love of reading, it is vitally important to make sure that they're all able to read books in which they see themselves represented. We've put together a list of books that do just that: buff.ly/pnl4iy8

This sums it up so well that I feel like I wrote it myself! Grief II – the sequel – the awkward second album – also known as ‘Ah no, is she STILL talking about death?’ yorkshirebylines.co.uk/society/talkin…

My husband Jeroen died Wednesday in hospice surrounded by family in #teamJeroen tshirts. He loved his family beyond measure; last photo of the Visser 7 here. While we are bereft, in this glorious weather, we imagine him in his happy place, in his hammock with his dog & books.

My husband Jeroen's funeral was on Thursday, with the hearse coming to the home we loved, and leading us to mass. All 5 of my children and I gave eulogies. It was beautiful & painful. Here's a photo montage with our theme song, Christy Moore's Voyage: youtu.be/dRA9WXRxdRM?si…
