I cannot tell you how much this man, his artwork & storytelling has meant to me since I first saw this book in 1978! This exhibition is a true gem, yet another incredible coup for #HitchinMuseum. Feeling blessed to finally see these. #thesnowman #raymondbriggs #inspired

Huge thanks to Harbour Moon Publishing & @martinimpey.bsky.social for sending me a copy of his new book 'Blitz: One Family's War'. Beautifully illustrated child's eye view of the London Blitz, I'm looking forward to sharing it with YLG London at our next meeting. #KidLitUK #HistoricalFiction

Have a read of this amazing insightful review of Blitz One Family's War by @tomtolkien.bsky.social for @schoolreadinglist.bsky.social. It is so rewarding to hear that my painstaking research is being recognised by educators and book lovers alike! #Blitzonefamilyswar #ww2 #blitz #childrensbook

What a beautiful treasure this is! @mrjamesmayhew.bsky.social is simply a master of his craft and this book showcases him at his very best. I hear the music in every image! Bravo James.

"A masterpiece..." So says an educator who's opinion I value! Touched to think next term Yrs5/6 will be using MY humble book to learn about our history - at a time when it looked like our history might have ended!

To celebrate the return of #Moonwalkers a Journey with Tom Hanks to LightRoom London over #Christmas - Starting today! Prof Chris Riley & I have BOTH signed copies of our book #WHEREONCEWESTOOD for their shop! This is currently the only place you can get signed copies by us both outside my website.

Achuka books' last BOOK OF THE DAY for 2024 goes toooooooo BLITZ One Family's War! Describing it as 'REMARKABLE' Happy with that!

So much love continues to appear for my new book BLITZ One Family's War. Thank you to everyone for embracing the book.

Joint No1 in my #FavePicturebooks24 is… “Blitz, One Family’s War” by @martinimpey.bsky.social. It is a truly stunning story of the impact the war had on one family and on the city of London. It’s a masterclass of bringing history to vivid life. Astounding stuff. #Picturebookpage

Remembering Rifleman Strudwick who lies at Essex Farm aged just 15! I had to capture this and the innocent blue Teddy that someone had left. A reminder of how young some of these young men (boys) were. #WeWillRememberThem #LestWeForget #RemembranceSunday2024 #Remembrance
