@dc-litchfield.bsky.social Hello, David. My daughter bought My Friend, Billy Whiskers today. We read it together as soon as we got home. It was so beautiful, we spoke about it for ages after. It’s such a joy to see a book spark that kind of excitement. We’re big fans in our house 💛🦁

Remember when Amazon held a sale during Independent Bookstore Day in an effort to undercut indie bookstores? We didn’t forget. Support local bookstores during Small Business Saturday and beyond.

This just fills me with dread. Not just for my family, but all those on the island. Stay safe, everyone 🇯🇲

Happy #BlackHistoryMonth ! Black history isn’t just a part of the past, it’s living all around us - in the music we listen to, the streets we walk and the stories we tell. Black History is everywhere. 💛💚❤️

Fitting for today’s cat fight.

Not a fan of seeing myself on camera but this award is voted for children. So here’s me talking a bit about me, and a bit about my hair. 💜

It's a new week, which means I have a book out THIS WEEK! It's full of puzzles, quizzes, doodles, games and a brand new short story about...well, that would be telling. @walkerbooksuk.bsky.social uk.bookshop.org/p/books/loki...

Five classes of fully-costumed and fully-inquisitive children. Lots of improvising and keeping up with the kids but what a great World Book Day. Best questions/answers: “Can I call you Kim Kardashian?” “My hair makes me feel posh actually” 😂 Thanks #ReadingforSmiles

On my way to the #ReadingforSmiles 😊 World Book Day event in Birmingham. Looking forward to reading, writing and chatting with some (hopefully) excited children! Wish me luck X 📕 💜

The latest Read for Empathy collection has been launched. As always, it's full of absolutely superb books, including graphic novels, poetry, picturebooks and non-fiction. The work @empathylabuk.bsky.social are doing is incredibly important. More information here: www.empathylab.uk/rfe

The 2025 #ReadforEmpathy collection is here! 💫 A new list of 70 books for 3-16 year olds, selected by experts to help understand and build empathy. Use the gorgeous new guides in your setting! 📚 Which is your favourite on the list? www.empathylab.uk/RFE

Books that promote empathy shape more caring and thoughtful minds. I'm very proud to share that 'Me and my Hair' has been included in the #ReadForEmpathy 2025 collection by @empathylabuk.bsky.social See the full book selection here: empathylab.uk/RFE

Dressing up can be a fun way to celebrate World Book Day. But don't forget, dressing up is not the main purpose. Not every child enjoys it, nor do people always have the time and/or money. Don't forget, many book characters feature children in everyday clothing!

Hi Kim! Your book has had a huge impact on some of the children in my class. They’ve loved comparing their hairstyles and teaching others about their care routines.

So excited to be shortlisted for the #Spark2025Shortlist, voted for by the ones who matter most… children! Thank you, @sparkbookaward.bsky.social 💁🏽‍♀️

Hi there 👋🏾 I’m Kim. My debut book ‘Me and my Hair’ published last summer. I’m lucky enough to have written a range of non-fiction books. I’ve just made the leap to Bluesky and am looking forward to meeting other leaping authors! #booksky #authorsky 💜
