I wrote a piece for The Bookseller about what feels like growing restrictions against LGBTQ+ authors and books especially in the children's space, and why we, as writers and publishers have a golden opportunity to help create a more accepting future. thebookseller.com/comment/save-t…

One thing I would love is to see it on more #Pride lists/displays. I can't overemphasise how queer it is! Elsie (MC) is bi. Her crush, Ada, is queer. Joan, her long-lost best friend, is a lesbian. There's also gay ace rep! Nonbinary rep! Questioning rep! Older queer characters!
