This book contains ridiculous rulers. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED. Thank you Rachael 📚📖 🙏

It's not you, it's authoring 🙃

Emerging from my shell to share some news... Clover May arrived safe and sound. The most magical present, she was born on my birthday. We're so very grateful to have her 🍀

I need a fantasy book that isn't too dark for these dark evenings. Ideally aimed at grown ups, but not essential. Really enjoyed The Gracekeepers / Raybearer / Winternight trilogy. Eternally seeking more... Pls help #booktwitter! All recommendations appreciated 🙏

Is this... a joke? One of my favourite programs 🥺 It's so special to have a show about the nature you can see on your doorstep. Accessible, everyday and wonderous nature. If you don't know about it, you can't protect it....

Step through the door in the tree and into a breathtaking adventure for today's book for bedtime: the epic A Clock of Stars by Francesca Gibbons, stunningly illustrated by chris riddell.

So much wisdom in this thread, especially "you're a writer because you write". Tattoo it on my brain pls.

A belated happy world book day to all! Especially those lovely people who take the trouble to send photos to authors. Nothing is more magical than seeing stories you've had in your brain for years take on their own life 😊

This was a lot of fun! Lovely to be part of the awards ceremony, even though I was baby-bound so had to be virtual. I could feel the children's excitement all the way over in Oxfordshire 😃

I've been lucky enough to read some early drafts of this and I can honestly say it's brilliant. A beautiful adventure story, set in the heart of the Serengetti. Definitely one for animal lovers.

Enjoy a sneak peak (Chap1) of the new A Clock of Stars #fantasy adventure Francesca Gibbons Book 3, The Greatest Kingdom, publishes today - and we think it's the best one yet! 👉readingzone.com/books/the-grea… HarperCollins Children's Books

If anyone's wondering how parenting is going... today, I forgot that my book is out 👌🤦‍♀️ it's a good book, honest! I'm just *quite* tired

I will never support an organisation that does this, by the way. Cowardly. Authors must support illustrators. We are next. Nothing can truly replace artists. The world will be worse for trying.

Thank you IKEA for these clear and precise instructions

Save and be saved. Love it. (via Jenny Knight, poem by Kate Baer
