As grown-ups we can often fall into the trap of leaning towards serious or ‘issue heavy’ kid’s books, forgetting that kids also need and deserve books that just bring joy. So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, what are your top fun / silly / joyful book recommendations? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Welcome one and all to this special 10 year celebration of #ukteenchat with the 1st guests the chat ever had, the fabulous @ambercaraveo.bsky.social and @joannamoult.bsky.social of Skylark Literary 🎉 Remember to use the # so your tweets are seen and give us a wave if you're here 👋 #writingcommunity

The Darley Anderson Illustration Agency has launched the Darley Anderson Illustration Mentorship Prize 2026, a new opportunity designed to support and spotlight emerging illustrators from under-represented backgrounds 👇 #BookSky

This topic could not be more important at the moment Highly recommend Boy Everywhere by @amdassu.bsky.social It reply helps depict a refugee’s journey in a very human light #ukkidlit

My son is doing a refugees topic at school, which led to a great discussion round the dinner table about the books we’ve all read, at home and at school, that taught us about the refugee experience. What books would you add to the list? #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Exciting delivery this week! Look at this beauty 😍 I LOVED the first book in this series - one of my top reads from last year - so this sequel has soared to the top of my reading pile When the tattoo on your hand signals your fate! @prleathley.bsky.social #kidlituk #ukkidlit #booksky

📣 PLEASE BID 📣 Not only are these great books for kids (-and not-kids like me!) but you'd be donating to a really good cause. What's not to like??

Some of my favourite WW2 middle grade books. All have a slightly different slant to some of the commonly read class texts and would be good for a teacher wanting to switch it up this term.

A giftset of my trilogy plus bookmark & soft toy bat is currently in an auction if anyone would like to bid for it (Donated by one of my lovely friends) The auction is raising funds to publish a picture book by Anne Roache who sadly passed away in 2025 Link in next post 👇🏻 #ukkidlit #kidlituk

2026 is the National Year of Reading and here is the first in my ONE MINUTE INTERVIEW series to introduce books through their creators, and give a flavour for each book and its interesting creation process! This week you’ll meet incomparable author and illustrator @louiestowell.bsky.social ❤️

Out now, middle grade The Night I Borrowed Time by @ihussainwriter.bsky.social is a brilliant time-travel adventure that also looks at the effects of parental separation and Partition. @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social #KidlitUK #UKKidlit worldssmallestlibrary.wordpress.com/2026/01/18/t...

Just finished The Middler by Kirsty Applebaum. Maggie is fantastic narrator whose struggles to accept her place in the world are very relatable. The dystopian setting is brilliantly imagined with thought-provoking themes of misinformation and abuse of power @nosycrow.bsky.social #KidLitUK #UKKidLit

WOWSERS. I put off reading The Final Year because I veer away from books with hype (plus I wasn’t sure verse novels were my thing)… But it’s truly INCREDIBLE. Such emotional depth. For year 6 & up (but themes may need to be handled with care). Adults should read it too!!! #kidlituk #ukkidlit

We’re only just started the year and already things feel even more grim than they already were. So for #KidsBooksFriday this week, what books can we put in the hands of kids to encourage them question, challenge and think for themselves? #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

I had intended to take this week off #KidsBooksFriday, but somehow I feel a sudden urge to celebrate funny, readable books by folk who are not despicable humans. Please do join me with your recommendations. #KidLitUK #UKKidLit

#EduSky #UKKidLit #KidLit Help! Recommendations of books for a book obsessed 3 year old! Already has/can repeat from memory all Julia Donaldsons, Oi book series, lots of Beatrix Potter, most the Kelpies imprint picturebooks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 & various others. I want to put together a monthly book gift for 2026 🙏

Just finished a proof of @rashmiwriting.bsky.social's new book and it is a marvel! Witty, cleverly-observed, with a charming main character who is also a massive doofus. I love a massive doofus! (Don't tell Hari I think he's a doofus)

A shout out to all the fab #indiebookshops. You can find them on this list on my profile: bsky.app/profile/did:... #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit #BookSky

With it being #BookWeekScotland this week I want to use #KidsBookFriday to celebrate some great books by Scottish authors I’ve read recently. Can anyone else recommend some Scottish favourites? Or share some great books by authors from where you’re from. #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Astra Firestar by @stuartwhitewm.bsky.social is somehow FREE on Kindle atm! A thrilling race through space & time. I LOVED it when I read it. Sharing my full review below because there isn’t enough room here to sing its praises Doctor Who for kids (& adults!) Link in next post #UKkidlit #booksky

Oh joy of Joys! Finally the world of Agatha Christie meets the world of children’s books! Little Miss Marple in a middle at the vicarage &Mr Poirot in mischief on the Nile! #PictureBookFriday so much fun and perfect for kids @farshorebooks.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/11/14/l...

Found my old Faraway Tree books! Books for this age group would probably cost £7.99 today. Guess how much they sold for back then? (No rude jokes about my age 😉) #booksky #kidlituk #ukkidlit

Next week we celebrate #BookWeekScotland which this year has a theme of Friendship. What great books that celebrate friendship would you be recommending? #KidsBookFriday #UKKidLit #KidLitUK

My 20-minute 1-2-1 ASK ME ANYTHING slots are now live. Trialling two dates for now: 1-2pm and 7-8pm GMT on 13th and 20th Nov. These aren’t critique/feedback sessions. They’re to help marginalised writers navigate UK children’s publishing. UK only. Link to book in my bio. 💛📖 #KidLitUK

Happy publication day to @emmaread.bsky.social !! I loved Milton the Mighty and The House Trap so I know this one will be brilliant too! Three children wake up on Christmas Day to find their parents have disappeared 👀 Inspired by The Day of the Triffids😮 #kidlituk @chickenhousebooks.bsky.social

‘If you’re disabled, you’re not ill.’ Sir Charlie Mayfield (author of the Keep Britain Working review) This is who’s shaping UK disability employment policy. Shocking, he doesn’t even understand the basics. I’m disabled because I’m chronically ill with #MECFS.

Like most people I automatically switch to @barringtonstoke.bsky.social too. Fabulous books for all learners. Also important to champion that authentic voice which is why I've chosen Wider than the Sea by @serenamolloy.bsky.social

@amdassu.bsky.social will be in the shop on Saturday the 8th signing her new book. She is brilliant, the book is beautiful, come and say hello

Went to buy an ebook and it’s £11.99 … Say what?!?! Won’t be buying it 🤷‍♀️

I’ve been in a right reading slump lately. I’m conscious it’s often just the right book coming along at the right time that does the trick, but what books have helped you or the kids in your life get out of a reading slump? #KidsBooksFriday #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Who would like to buy my book today? $0.99 in ebook $3.46 in audio $4.99 in paperback 29 micropoems about family, motherhood, and chronic illness #BookSky www.amazon.com/Lift-Mask-co...

Book 88 of 2025: Toby and the Siege of Sky City by @sallywrites.bsky.social — way to make me cry with that ending! 😭 perfect end to the trilogy. I just gave book 1 to my 9yo. Toby’s mom and I (and Sally) have the same illness — it was great to see more of mum in this book! #MECFS #KidLit #BookSky

📣 SCHOOLS! 💷 A virtual author visit can be a very cost effective way to encourage children's #ReadingForPleasure. 📚 Check out virtualauthors.co.uk and give them‬ a follow to find out which authors are available. #EduSky #KidLitUK #Primary #Secondary #Education #VirtualAuthorVisits #KidLit

For #KidsBooksFriday this week let’s highlight great kids puzzle and activity books. I find these are a great way to get kids to engage with physical books, particularly those who fear reading large swathes of text (as I did when I was wee). And they’re just great fun. #KidLitUK #UKKidLit #KidLit

Fantastic books. Seems bonkers not to have a look.
