Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Firefly Press tenth anniversary party today: our wonderful authors, illustrators, ignitees and current and former staff. It was lovely to see everyone and celebrate with you all 🥂 🎉

Inspiring day at Tormead Prep School yesterday workshopping with all students from Reception to Year Six, drawing and writing about dragons, monsters, heroes and huggy dogs! Thank you ⁦Tormead KS1⁩ ⁦Firefly Press⁩ ⁦Firefly for Schools⁩ #WBD #ReadingForPleasure

Look what’s arrived Firefly for Schools Class 11 are going to love this. Thank you 😊

Absolutely worn out after a brilliant #WorldBookDay2024 school visit in sunny #Cumbria . A child told me in the morning 'I hate World Book Day.' At the end of the day he hugged me and asked me to come back soon 🥹 Firefly Press Firefly for Schools. Every child left with a book ❤️

We were very lucky today to host local author, Catherine Fisher, writer of the Clockwork Crow series and other wonderful novels. We teach the Clockwork Crow in our year 7 scheme. Our current year 8 were the first cohort to read the novel and enjoyed listening to Catherine today.

Starting to gather stuff for a big #WorldBookDay2024 visit tomorrow in #Cumbria . A lynx, a giraffe and a meerkat, boxes of books, a guitar, a heap of mischievous mini meerkats and oodles of fun activities Firefly Press Firefly for Schools Children’s Books North Cumbria Library Services for Schools SPCK

And special thanks to Steve Gane from Waterstones Swansea not only for supporting the events with lots of books but for being a brilliantly bluesy and boogie woogie brother! So much fun and creative electricity! A musical book launch. Firefly Press Children's Laureate Wales Authors Aloud UK

Our #BookOfTheDay is a super collection of poems that would work really well in a classroom to inspire poetry writing - and to enjoy reading aloud!

We love #DoughnutsThievesAndChimpanzees from Alex Wharton and Rhi Smith:
