So good to hold my kids' poetry & craft club again today after a year-long break. We did 'Behind the Door' poems, and this was the poem created by the youngest attendee (5yo), as told to me - with the absolute minimum of help. Behind the Superhero Door. Absolutely wonderful.

Feel cruddy & cross about a thing; am trying not to act rashly. Instead I bought a bag of sugar for an elderly man who'd gone all round the shop but forgot it, helped a lady with her dropped shopping & donated 4 bags to charity. Don't feel better - anyone want to buy a book? 😂

I was going to post a picture of myself with the first copy of Undercover Angel... but we all know people would rather see Charlie. 🤷‍♀️😼 So, here's the boss. With my book. Available to pre-order now!! amzn.to/3QmPi6q #kidlit #catsoftwitter

Daily poetry prompt: Never... I've never had a selfie with a snail. I’ve never pulled a tiger by his tail. I’ve never had a fry-up on a Friday. I’ve never found a bobcat on a bobsleigh. More here: brian-moses.blogspot.com/2020/06/never-… Pie Corbett Sue Hardy-Dawson💙

Tanya Turner is a new voice in children's fiction, and I highly recommend her debut, Wood. Great for kicking off discussion about conservation, wildlife & the relationship between humans and nature 🌳 (and other humans 💚). tanyaturnerwriter.com/wood
