A real honour to be at the Pupil Librarian Assistant Awards today, celebrating the brilliant work student librarians do in their schools. Thanks PLAA_UK and everyone who made it happen… look at these stars!

School librarians - this is SO much fun to get involved with - a relay of pics sharing LGBTQ+ books for Pride month… you end up with joyous pics like this, featuring the rugby team from Ibstock Place School Library wearing rainbow laces - joyful, inclusive and such a positive message. Deets below.

Looking v relaxed and v cool, just hanging out with the squad. 😎

“We have on one side the “good” books, which have lots of love from the darlings of the industry, and which parents and grandparents want to buy; on the other side, the funny, short books that children would reach for, were they given a choice.”

Also folks, I’ve finally made it because some cool Y10 lads wanted to have their photo taken… WITH ME! Am finally one of the gang, after all these years. 🙏

A brilliant visit - my third to Telford Park School - they study Noah as part of their reading canon so I also got to read the opening to Noah Could Never to a very amused Y10 class! 😄

Sending all my support to the students involved in this.

Finished this today and loved it - what a powerfully important book for young people. Wow. Thank you for writing about what needs to be read 🥺Simon James Green

Book Club book 2. What a roller coaster of a story - friendship, love, grief and making the most of the opportunities life provides.  A fantastic read. Great one for parent too. Simon James Green WarwickshireSLS

So sat here blubbing away in absolutely floods. Tried to explain the story to my son and started crying again.

What a truly wonderful story “Finn Jones Was Here” by Simon James Green is.

Funny, sad and stacked full of love. I’m going to go and feed the seagulls some chips.
