This is a gorgeous book by acclaimed poet Jackie Kay and renowned artist Jill Calder. When you scan the QR code inside the book you can watch an author video and listen to recordings of the songs featured in the book. Really delightful! #walkerbooks

Huge thanks to #WalkerBooks for sending these fab new titles from Jennifer Bell and @luangoldie.bsky.social Both out 06/02, I’m celebrating by resharing my review of #MagicaliaThiefOfShadows below #KidlitUK #UKKidlit

Copies of Magicalia: Thief of Shadows by Jennifer Bell and Oops, I kidnapped a Pharaoh by Luan Goldie. The cover of the first book shows 3 children swimming underwater amongst fantastical fish and plants, wearing diving suits and with large air bubbles surrounding their heads. The 2nd book’s cover shows a girl driving a TukTuk with a Pharaoh leaning out to the left and another girl leaning out to the right as they follow a multicoloured road.

I adore Pádraig Kenny's writing and am thrilled to have an early read of his new title, #After, courtesy of #NetGalley #WalkerBooks
Mug of tea and an iPad, the screen of which shows the title ‘After’ written in a font that resembles electronic circuit boards, and the author’s name.
