One of my favourite moments from our school visits has been showing SUPERHEROES IN THE PARK on a big screen/projector and the children all gasping in delight at the artwork by Hayley Wells! @otterbarrybooks.bsky.social #KidLitUK #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

Last week at Broken Frontier... Superheroes in the Park – Ian Eagleton @ianeagletonauthor.bsky.social and Hayley Wells Take Us on a Journey into Imagination on a Two-Dad Family Day Out. www.brokenfrontier.com/superheroes-...

This is one of my favourite illustrations by Max Rambaldi from our book MILLIE’S BIG DECISION! So lovely to see a two-dad family brought to life so beautifully! uk.bookshop.org/p/books/mill... #KidLit #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky #LGBTQ

Review for #PrideMonth! Superheroes in the Park – Ian Eagleton and Hayley Wells Take Us on a Journey into Imagination on a Two-Dad Family Day Out. www.brokenfrontier.com/superheroes-...

We’ve been busy visiting schools and introducing the children to our new book SUPERHEROES IN THE PARK! The children have REALLY enjoyed joining in with the story and becoming stamping, plodding, ROARING dinosaurs as well as WHOOSHING superheroes! #KidLit #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

Looking for some picture books which feature a two-dad family? uk.bookshop.org/p/books/supe... #KidLit #LGBT #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

If you get the chance to leave a review anywhere online of SUPERHEROES IN THE PARK, we’d be so grateful! #KidLit #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

I don’t know if there’s any publishers or commissioning editors on here, but I thought I’d share a bit of my WIP: a silly, spooky, action-packed LGBT fairytale picture book! If you’d like to read it, let me know!! #KidLit #BookSky

The Discourse on Bluesky has turned to understandable concerns about the lack of comics commentary outlets. So just a reminder we're still here championing exciting new voices, showcasing genuinely indie work, and prioritising marginalised creators. www.brokenfrontier.com/about/

What a lovely review from @booktrust.org.uk of THE DAD TRAP! #KidLit #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

A touching tale of love and loss illustrated by Max Rambaldi. Millie has always wanted a dog, but when her grandmother passes away, she finds herself scared of letting anyone (or any dog) in. Can her dads help her find the perfect pup to teach her to love again? #KidLit #BookSky #PrimaryEduSky

Without love, however, imperfect, what else is there? joshuaseigalpoet.blogspot.com/2022/08/and-... @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @robinince.bsky.social #BookSky #poetry
