Children's books are seldom taken seriously by adults, yet they're the books that make us readers in the first place. They shape us at the deepest levels, and they stay with us forever. So I think children's books are really THE MOST IMPORTANT BOOKS OF ALL!

Tyger is coming to the US in July! I'm blown away by this review, and beyond excited that it's going to be a Kids’ Indie Next List Pick! Huge & heartfelt thanks to Hezekiah Olorode & all the amazing indie booksellers across the US for supporting & championing this book!

It's an emotional moment for me to hold the US edition of TYGER in my hands. I put 9 years of my life into writing it because I believe children's books are the most important books of all. Thank you Penguin Kids Penguin Workshop for bringing it to the US! penguinrandomhouse.com/books/753600/t…

Nice to get a mention from The Divine Comedy’s Neil Hannon on Steve Lemacq’s 6music show - reminiscing about Something for the Weekend. They were exciting times.

☕A £5 iced-latte? Or gift book packs to 3 pre-school children living in women's refuge centres. Books help overcome disadvantage and nurture a life-long love of reading, but for many they're a luxury families can't afford. Spread joy this Summer with a monthly gift.💫

A fun afternoon at The Royal Society where Boy Like Me won the secondary fiction category at the ‘What Kids are Reading’ awards. Fascinating insights into what kids are actually reading too! Thanks Accelerated Reader UK & Ireland 😀

Always make time to take your kids to libraries & bookshops. Always let them browse freely. These are places of magic & wonder - the places where we find the books that make us readers, and stay with us forever. These places change our lives! #literacy

My wife has now read the 4th draft of my next novel. The manuscript is sitting in my office. As long as I don’t pick it up and look at what she’s written in the margins, it is perfect… #schrodingersbook
