“Griso” by #RogerMello and wonderfully translated by #DanielHahn is an amazing tale of a unicorn’s search for another like him. The art takes us around the globe and through time in the search, a variety of art styles are used to portray the epic quest. Top Drawer! #PicturebookPage

Otherworldly,mesmerising, intense.Epic!Loved reading the waves of this story,diving to & from its heartbreak of a core. There sure are fragments of gods in that rain as this is another irish book I've read recently to be so magically inspired!🌊💙📚 @susancahill.bsky.social #KidLit #ReadingForPleasure

Ice Apprentices by #JacobNorth is a brilliant magical mystery set in the isolated settlement of Tundra in a wide expanse of ice. Fierce monsters, twists and turns and can’t wait for the next instalment @simonandschuster.bsky.social tomsbookcorner.wordpress.com/2025/02/21/i...

My latest article for @neunion.bsky.social Educate magazine is about non-fiction. It's often overlooked when talking about reading in the classroom and it shouldn't be. An exciting non-fiction text can engage readers just as well as any other. @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social @teresacremin.bsky.social

When a class have got independent reading time, try to sit with the children and read alongside them. Share the book you're reading, talk about why you're enjoying it and ask them about their choices. The impact on attitudes to reading will be massive. Organising the glue tray can wait.

What a gorgeous delight this is … “Annabelle and the Flower” by @emlynas.bsky.social and #AnuskaAllepuz is a fantastic book about the circle of life. It’s vibrant, playful and joyous. It would be a brilliant way to introduce the seasons to EYFS and KS1 #PicturebookPage @nosycrow.bsky.social

Folks are shocked that their institutions, after professing commitments to climate justice and DEI, are now caving to Trump and scrubbing all references. It's brutal. And it's the smallest taste of what our students felt when their universities called in the cops b/c they protested a genocide.
