This is seriously disappointing a small press doing such great stuff 2 books recently longlisted @The_UKLA Out performing major publishers The quality of what you do is self evident

Tiny Owl's application for @ace_national emergency funding has been rejected. This is disappointing news. How can small publishers like us, who don't want to sacrifice the quality of their diverse & inclusive books, survive in such tough times? #COVID19 #ArtsFunding Please RT

Hit hard by the #reflectingrealities survey by @clpe1, which found that (in 2017) only a shocking 1% of children’s books had a BAME main character, we commissioned this illustration by Maria Migo. @LetterboxLib @rapclassroom @nikeshshukla

I’m sorry but no one can express this better than Will 😂 Congratulations to all the nominees @CILIPCKG and especially to @SitaBrahmachari @candygourlay @EMRLaird @nikeshshukla and @catwrote. I know I’m forgetting someone 🧐 but that’s just an excuse to bring Will back on again!

“Publishers are offering a dated, narrow and skewed picture of the complex, diverse, interconnected world around them.” Guardian Editorial #ReflectingRealities amp.theguardian.com/commenti…

The Guardian view on children’s books: a restricted view of a wide world | Editorial

Editorial: Almost a third of school-age children are from black, Asian and minority ethnic backgrounds. But they will still struggle to find characters who resemble themselves

The key line in this article about @SweetAppleBooks ‘s hilarious middle grade novel (& @littlerebsprize winner!), The Muslims? “The title has not yet been translated into Arabic”. Not YET people. Not yet... nasher-news.com/childrens-bo…
