Two super workshops today - one each from @AmySparkes and @JonnyDuddleDum . What a treat at the @SCBWI_BI picture book retreat! #picbookretreat23 @paulhotfrog
I was proud to be one of the authors who signed this letter, but utterly ashamed of the fact that it needed to be written, and utterly terrified by the lack of compassion and empathy shown by this story. Please share the letter far & wide if you agree!
Top kids' authors' and illustrators' letter to Robert Jenrick protests against painting out murals at children's asylum centre: Pullman, Rosen, Frank Cottrell Boyce, Jamila Gavin, Jane Ray, Ros Asquith, Sita Brachmachari, Chris Riddell, Nicola Davis, Sally Nicholls, many more..
