An honour to have been a juror for the NSK Neustadt Award for Children’s and YA Lit WorldLiteratureToday at Oklahoma Uni. The winner - Cherie Dimaline and her representative book was The Marrow Thieves - powerful, terrifying and beautiful.

Charming synchronicity: Last year, inspired by JT Williams’ Lizzie & Belle: Portraits & Poison, we hopped off 🚂to see the Dido portrait at Kenwood House ⬇️ This year that same book won the #LittleRebelsAward So teachers: there’s your classroom outing & book tie-in synched 🥳

Year 4 had an amazing time with the wonderful Kate Rafiq . The children were inspired by her book #WeAreHere - they created beautiful welcome posters. A powerful reminder of kindness and inclusion. Rakesh Gunchala Miss Rukhsar #worldbookday2025 #ReadingforPleasure
