It’s here! It’s here! Thank you to @northernjim.bsky.social for all your hard work in organizing and editing this beautiful #kidlit #poetry anthology. I’m so pleased to have 2 illustrations included. Even better - funds generated from book sales will be donated to Juvenile Arthritis Research.
Book cover - Book title is Sky Surfing. Cover image is a black and white pencil sketch of two children with their arms outstretched, flying alongside some birds that appear to be swallows. There is a small hot air balloon in the lower right corner with the text “Excellent adventures in a poetry balloon.” Book is edited by Jonathan Humble.

I asked the guys at Yorkshire Times Publishing to donate the first set of funds available from sales of Sky Surfing (£1000) to #JuvenileArthritisResearch. We've sold 63 paperbacks, 16 hardbacks and donated 98 copies (contributors/reviewers/libraries/schools).

The wonderful book #SkySurfing has arrived! It’s bursting with brilliant poetry for kids - all profits will go to the fantastic charity #JuvenileArthritisResearch. I’m chuffed to see my The Great Yule Yeti poem sitting alongside so many great poems! #BookSky #PoetryForKids

The next print run of Sky Surfing (which I hope will be delivered very soon) should include some hardback copies ... looking forward to seeing how that affects the feel of the anthology. JH 😊
