Thank you @lucynoguerawrites.bsky.social for my super copy of #Swop #TheDaringDinosaurDetective!
A fun school visit to the Natural History Museum that swiftly turns to chaos when super-secret, pocket-sized Swop breaks free from Ernie's stolen rucksack - Can they catch him and the thief!?🦖

Here's a thing! Buy any children's book from @bookshop-org-uk.bsky.social this month, as part of their #ReadItForward campaign, they'll donate 10% to the charities @booktrust.org.uk & @scottishbooktrust.bsky.social.

And apparently if it's one of mine an angel gets a new set of wings.

Chatted with 8 classes in Bath and then 8 classes in Manchester all in one afternoon! Virtual visits when planned & all working well (good wifi, camera working etc) are such a valuable resource for schools, affordable and interactive & still promote reading for pleasure! @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social

Not quite sure how I managed to have a nap before my first zoom for Swop 2?! But managed to wake up and really enjoy talking to a school in Oxford!

I’m really hoping to do some zoom author visits outside of the UK in January as part of the launch of Swop 2 The Daring Dinosaur Detective 🐾🦖📚
If you are a school/or know one that loves books and would be interested let me know! #internationalschools #authorvisits @bmonstersbooks.bsky.social

I didn’t realise this was #nationalgriefawarenessweek these are all great books to open conversations. I purposely included a family’s story after a bereavement in Swop, to show how a family member can be remembered/included positively in family life even after they have died.
