"You're only a children's bookshop." To that we say, there is nothing "only" about children's books. Books for children and young people are magic. They change lives. They give children something that is theirs. Children's books are magic ❤️

Why is children's literature not considered as important as other literature? 📚 Gruffalo and Tabby McTat author Julia Donaldson tells @JustinOnWeb that despite Britain being 'famous' for children's books, she's unsure why the genre gets 'little attention'. #R4Today

If there are still any people out there who have not read Sabriel, this is a strong recommendation to do so. Yes, it's a book that works for kids, but it's the creepiest read around for any age group.

It's no secret that books in fantasy and sci-fi genres are taken less seriously than other genres... but why? #LoveOzYA's Alice (@ajendacott) explores why fantasy and sci-fi novels struggle in publishing, with the help of Lili Wilkinson, Will Kostakis, & Annabel Barker✨

I was asked by someone recently how they could support me as an author when they don't have any young readers in their life to share picture books with. Here are my best tips for how you can support #Kidlit authors & illustrators. Thanks for being a part of our story. @TheCBCA

There’s a trend in Spanish slang of describing someone with an overly high opinion of themselves as a powerful fictional character, but of a tiny territory. Examples are ‘Yeti of the fridge freezer,’ ‘Aquaman of the toilet bowl,’ and ‘Tarzan of the flowerpot.’ Anybody got more?
