With Mother’s Day coming up, it’s wonderful to see All I Hope For You by me & @kittyharrisillo.bsky.social in @waterstoneskids.bsky.social. This lyrical celebration of unconditional love would make a perfect gift. In hope it brings some smiles. ❤️ @puffinbooksuk.bsky.social #ukkidlit #kidlituk

Back to recording videos with my yeti crew today! The yetis are officially taking over my home now! But they are the true stars of all my events so I don’t mind! Getting ready for an awesome @readingrocks.bsky.social event with @lorettaschauer.bsky.social on 29th January! #ukkidlit #kidlituk

Just an author casually snapping a selfie with the book that started in my head and ended up illustrated by the amazing @lorettaschauer.bsky.social and on the shelf in Sainsbury’s 😃 (This time in Chichester)

A little bit of #visualhumour that is proving popular in schools I've been visiting lately. Iggy and his yeti friends just can't seem to find any humans, no matter how hard they search! From 'Yetis Don't Exist' by @katethompson.bsky.social and me 🤔🤣❄️❄️❄️

A few photos from this week’s school visits with Steyning Books. Working with children is my favourite part of being an author because I get to share how gloriously fun reading and writing can be (and dress up while doing it!) #IggyOnTour continues at Bags of Books in Lewes on Saturday! #ukkidlit

Just look at this FUR-tastic yeti display at the primary school I visited on Thursday! It’s such a huge honour when schools do this - this school was on a mission to put reading for pleasure at the heart of everything they do and I’m so glad Iggy and I have helped! #UKKidLit #KidLitUk
