⚠️ Pontypridd has been hit by devastating floods and our wonderful independent bookshop, Storyville Books, has seen much of its stock destroyed. If you’re able to buy a book from them, this would go such a long way to help support them rebuild in the aftermath. 👉 uk.bookshop.org/shop/Storyvi...

Rocketship are such a wonderful bookshop, with a brilliant website full of great kids books. Please support them.

Thanks for the link @camcauthor.bsky.social 🤗 I’ve found my way here 😘😘😘
