I was looking through my poetry notes this morning, before starting to write a new poem, and found my I am so happy poem, inspired by a @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social workshop. Thank you. It made me happy. #poem #poetry #poetrycommunity #workshop

Waited so long for this to come out. Can’t wait to read it! If only I lived closer, I’d be down there like a shot. Two quite brilliant authors! 🥳

Hope and recovery, how lovely! Mr Rosen I've just joined here from twitter as I couldn't bear it any longer, so a dose of hope amd recovery is much needed. All the best with all your latest projects!

📚 Michael Rosen's (@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social) Oh Dear, Look What I Got! is officially the #1 selling picture book in the UK this week. Published by Walker Books (@walkerbooksuk), this joyful new release is captivating readers nationwide. Order now!

We got this book 'Oh Dear, Look What I Got' by Michael Rosen and Helen Oxenbury and the children are already reciting parts of it. It is a hit! This week we are learning about rhyme and this is a perfect hook for the lessons. Thank you @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Just saw this rendition of @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social “Don’t Mention the Children”, narrated by himself along with a host of other heroes for @savechildrenuk.bsky.social youtu.be/tENn0dTF2eY Sign their petition here: bit.ly/4n2rS4Y

Oh, that’s fantastic. You’ve also just made me add another song to my motivational playlist for rehab from sciatica.

Thing BlueSky has taught me number 37202746: I had no idea Michael Rosen was such a fan of 90s/00s pop! Heather Small, Shania Twain, who's next? I really hope it's joining @flavorflav.bsky.social in the Backstreet Boys fandom 🤞🤞🤞

From picture books to chapter adventures, our classrooms are filled with stories that spark imagination and curiosity for our children. Let’s keep turning pages and growing our love for books! #PerseveranceSTC @piecorbett.bsky.social @worldbookdayuk.bsky.social @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

You can always rely on Michael for a Bon mot A tasty reflection A morsel of humility A celebration of beauty And an all round uplift Thank you

In 2020, I learned how to walk again and my breakthrough moment was walking from my hospital bed to the loo without using a stick. To inspire me I sang to myself 'Search for the hero inside yourself'. Today, on camera, I met Heather Small to thank her.

#booksky Yippee 😁

Excellent evening with @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social emotional, sad, humourous and thought provoking. Good to see him so well recovered after the COVID years and a small dose of politics at the end.

TONIGHT!

One of my favourite interviews has been with @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social & he’s at Westlands Yeovil this evening with his show, Getting Through It. Tickets are here: www.westlandsyeovil.co.uk/whats-on/tal... Our full conversation is here: www.besomerset.com/post/michael... #searchforthehero

It seems like 'Oh Dear, look what I got' by Helen Oxenbury and me reached number one in the picture book bestseller list this week, and number two in the children's books overall list. @WalkerBooksUK @walkerpicbooks

@michaelrosenyes.bsky.social I really enjoy Word of Mouth, but I thought that the latest broadcast was the best yet

The word "drone", it turns out, is very susceptible to metaphor and simile @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

Tomorrow night. I look forward to meeting you afterwards.

Ps it's morecAmbe with an A 😁

I'd hazard a guess that at least 2 million of those views are from this household. My little one loved meeting you on Saturday. It made her whole weekend. Thank you

Earlier this evening at the Winter Gardens, Morecombe:

Just catching up with this now. In Thai (my second language), quite a few animal names are in fact iconic - a cat is a แมว (maew), a cow is a วัว (wua), a sheep is a แกะ (geh - a little like 'get' without the 't'), a goat is a แพะ (peh - 'pet' without the 't') etc.

Halfway home from listening to Michael Rosen speaking at a terrific Toppings book event in Ely this evening. My friend is driving. She's about the same age as Michael and a retired teacher. 'Do you know who Sheryl Crow is?' I asked her. 'No,' she replied. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social

There's an absolutely heartbreaking poem by @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social about his brother who died of whooping cough as a baby. It's a disease that nobody has to have anymore.
