Did you see my post over on IG's Picture Book Takeover about the technique I used to create all that white FLUFF in 'Yetis Don't Exist!' ? #illustration #technique #picturebooks #kidlitart #painting #collage #photoshop #howto #childrensbooks www.instagram.com/p/DFcpzZFiVp...

Well, we've flirted with it before, as have many indie retailers, but today, the day came. We have had our first ZERO day. That's right. We sold nothing. Scaffolding makes a difference - we ARE open and we also sell online. #kidlituk

Amaryllis time again! Started this one off quite late, but it should still be flowering for my birthday. (Hippeastrum 'Apple Blossom')

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

As we move into the holidays, please remember: READING FOR PLEASURE has the biggest impact of any factor on children's life chances. So never stop sharing books with kids, talking about books, making books central to everything you do. Never stop changing their lives! #literacy #EduSky #books

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)

Happy #NationalIllustrationDay! I wanted to mark the day by celebrating the amazing illustrators that I’ve been lucky enough to work with over the last few years - the brilliant @lorettaschauer.bsky.social, Kitty Harris & @clareelsom.bsky.social - just look at these illustrations! 🥰 #ukkidlit

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 🤔🤣❄️❄️❄️

My favourite page in Yetis Don’t Exist (though it’s a tough call as they’re all brilliant!). Just look at these Northern Lights!

As it’s Nonfiction November, I’m resharing some posts I wrote for BookTrust back when I was Writer in Residence, starting with this piece on how factual books can be a powerful form of storytelling that can grip young readers. www.booktrust.org.uk/news-and-fea... #KidLitUK
