A storm, a rising sea, and a family that refuses to let go. In “The House That Floated” by #Goujing, stunning art tells a delicate, wordless tale of resilience and love. A #PicturebookPage treasure, it is a #WordlessWonder, quietly powerful and unforgettable. Just Perfect! One of the best of ‘25

#SundaymorningBookChat this week is about difficult subject matter. Yesterday I blogged about the new book by #onjaliqRauf who tackles dementia in a grandparent with authenticity and warmth. What would you recommend? tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/09/06/t...

The Dinosaur Next Door by @dc-litchfield.bsky.social is a delight. Beautifully simple story about identity and allowing people to live their lives. Dazzling illustrations on every page. His use of colour to show emotion at different times is something that children will love exploring.

#Sundaymorningbookchat this week is about celebrity authors. What are your thoughts on celebrities writing children’s books - even if they have a background in writing? Are there any that you’ve enjoyed? Are they books that you avoid? Do you think it’s good for the industry? the children?

If it's helpful, even though you're (probably) on holidays, I am resharing the very long blog I wrote about how we teach Whole Class Reading at our school. We have really fluent children who love reading and I've tried to break it down as much as possible. mrboothy6.wordpress.com/2025/01/03/w...

I am often asked how to get boys into reading. I honestly don't think boys are different to anyone else. If you want them to love reading - JUST LET THEM READ THINGS THEY LOVE! Whatever those things might be, they are the things that make us all into readers. #literacy (Art: Bill Watterson)

Having read the article in @theguardian.com today talking about increased book censorship I recommend we all read this book by @alangratz.bsky.social to our year 6. It’s a great book about rebellion. The banned books mentioned became must reads in our Year 6 class. Best way to get kids reading ;-)

What a moving story about a young girl trying to help her family amid the crisis of civil war ‘Oranges in No Man’s Land’ by Elizabeth Laird. Looking forward to using this as our next English unit 🍊

Happy Vaisakhi / Baisakhi A very short thread on why Sikhs celebrate this festival. Sikhs, Punjabis all over the world celebrate Baisakhi (also known as Vaisakhi or Visakhi) today (April 13th/14th) Baisakhi is a historic harvest festival based out of the Punjab and Haryana area which starts

Why I still LOVE teaching 💙💚💛

I’ve avoided entering the education space of social media thus far but after a great day at #rEDBrum I’m taking the plunge!

Love this 👌🏼
