I recently had the pleasure of judging for the UKLA children’s book awards. One of the shortlisted books that I LOVED was The Invisible by Tom Percival. A strong message about the social inequality in the UK, this felt timely, important and moving #books #childrenbooks

Always brings me joy to see LGBTQIA+ representation in children’s books 😍🏳️‍⚧️🏳️‍🌈. A little early introduction to the history and importance of Pride by @jmc_clintick and Juana Medina. Thanks David Reedy! #pride #CHILDRENSBOOK #booktwt #edutwitter #book
