This makes me so sad. I read Peepo to Travers, my oldest son, every night for two years. He had other stories, but the last one before a kiss goodnight always had to be Peepo. I loved his books…Each Peach, Pear, Plum…oh don’t get me started I’ll cry.

Today's the final day to make our voices heard against the government's proposed plans to allow AI developers to steal our work for use in training their AI systems. It's theft, plain and simple, but you can object by filling out the IPO consultation. Guidance here:

Don't be intimidated by the number of questions - you do NOT have to answer them all. You can answer as many or as few as you like, and the ALCS has nice, simple guidance and advice for answering the important ones.

Your rights are under threat from AI. It’s time to have your say!
The Government recently launched a consultation on AI and copyright. Now is the time to have your say and make sure that legislators hear the concerns of creators.

I asked a child what their fave book from last year was and their answer was a series that was published about a decade ago. A good reminder that a book is always new to a child who hasn't read it. The constant publishing hustle for novelty has nothing to do with what children want.
