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.

You may think our #LittleRebelsAward cycle is over for the year but in many ways, we’re just beginning as we ramp up distribution of our bright glossy shortlist merch to educational establishments across the UK.

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
