Terribly sad and a perfect theme for #KidsBooksFriday
We love a sibling duo like Tilbury & Nimblequick in #Moonflight and Tom & Lil in #TheCurioCollectors. Also human animal duos such as Adonis & Joseph in #WhenTheSkyFalls and animal animal in Charlotte & Wilbur #CharlottesWeb #KidLit

I am so sad at loss of the wonderful Patrick Stewart. So I wanted to pay tribute by using this week’s #KidsBooksFriday to celebrate his beautiful friendship with Ian McKellan.

All of David Almond's books. Such an incredible sense of place, not least through the cadence of the dialogue.
