Fab time at Holme Grange lit festival yesterday

A fantastic day at the Open University #RfP Choice and Voice conference today. Great workshops and fabulous keynotes from @teresacremin.bsky.social @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social An inspiring day, lots to think about and beautiful books shared and bought 😊

In Doncaster with @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social & Sallie from @newarktrg.bsky.social at the OURfP Choice & Voice Matters Conference. An inspiring day! Plus a big bag of books to bring back to school to share with the children on Monday.

After a slow rise over several years, @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social points out the worrying decline of representation in books published last year - this then has a stifling impact of the stories children write and the futures they write for themselves #OURfPConf

Author @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social’s experience volunteering at a refugee camp inspired her Big Cat for Little Wandle book, Follow the Moon. Its message is as relevant as ever, and her short film is well worth a watch 🌜 https://www.littlewandlelettersandsounds.org.uk/everybody-read/263937/

Book 1 of 2025 is this beauty from the amazing @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social (thank you, Sufiya!!!) and I can't wait to go on another adventure with Suhana.

Happy book birthday to The Picture Puzzle, written by Sufiya Ahmed and bringing to life Enid Blyton’s much loved characters from the Famous 5! Here's a little flick through to celebrate. The illustrations are brimming with details to help little ones become immersed in the world of Enid Blyton.

Sorry you guys are going to have to wait until Jan to read the next Famous Five for younger readers! Written by @sufiyaahmed.bsky.social so excited for this one!
