What my kids see when I’m in yeti mode! I’ve been recording some yeti moves ahead of tomorrow’s virtual event with ReadingRocks - I hope some of you can come and join the fun! #authorlife

What a fantastic event - thank you to all the classes who joined Loretta Schauer, Iggy and me! We were hugely impressed by your spotting skills, yeti moves and yeti drawings! And such insightful questions, too!

The best way to spend a morning has to be watching Kate Thompson / KR Thompson and Loretta Schauer talk about #YetisDontExist with ReadingRocks 📚 I've also FINALLY drawn my very own Yeti, with the perfect name... if I do say so myself ❄️

Children's books build empathy, compassion, and understanding. They can transport readers to whole new worlds and back again, all without leaving your sofa. They can comfort, they can delight. They are magical.

Conversations with my 10yo are never dull. Today's random musing on the way to school: How long do you think it would take the world to notice if suddenly no one could sneeze?

What a FURtastic virtual visit to Thongsley Fields Primary today! We talked about my inspiration for writing Yetis Don’t Exist, stamped & stomped along with the yetis’ story, learned yetis moves & drew our own furry Loretta Schauer-style yetis. Thank you for inviting me! #worldbookday

Good luck to all the year 6 students and teachers doing SATs this week. Will be escorting my 10yo to his pre-exam breakfast club this morning. Remember you’re more than a score! #sats #year6 #teachers

So lovely to catch up with Jo Williamson this morning for a VERY exciting meeting. I always have to pinch myself that I get to work with such brilliant publishing teams. More details soon, but there’s the teeniest of clues in one of the photos for any detectives out there!
