I’m proud to announce that I’m a patron of the Free Books Campaign, a nonprofit that gets books to those who can’t afford them for free. They’ve donated 8,000+ brand new books & launched their annual free lit festival - the next one is 19th-21st July, save the date! 😊

Hugely proud to support the Children's Laureate role. What an incredible moment to see the phenomenal Joseph Coelho handing on the baton to Frank Cottrell-Boyce & see him deliver a powerful call to arms ... "My tenure as laureate will have happiness in its heart & urgency in its step!"

Absolutely the right author for the job, his books are full of compassion, beautiful writing ...and FUN. MILLIONS is a book I read every year and it bowls me over every single time.

Winning an award is one thing, but the fact that it celebrates my editors too, and I got to share it with friends and fam is what’s made this so special. Thank you Branford Boase Award The absurd acceptance speech is on my Instagram Hot Key Books ✨📚 Ella Whiddett Ruth Bennett

I’m dreaming. I must be. Because how did I get to write a thing like this? I don’t even know where it came from but this book has my whole soul poured into every page and I know it’s the same for Jason, the illustrator.
