@rapclassroom @ksandsoconnor @BooksForKeeps Severely underrepresented it seems. Lots of US that springs to mind. But for British, two superb writers in @DeanAtta and @malorieblackman.
Interesting link for Boy’s Don’t Cry’ here:

@jotregenza @TeresaCremin @The_UKLA @Mat_at_Brookes @one_to_read @nikkigamble @MeakerR @imaginecentre @clpe1 For such a (hopefully) large library, here’s one of the smallest books. So much power - a beautiful message about acceptance. Always #ShaunTan for me!
@RattyMum @Mat_at_Brookes @marygtroche @volewriter @verity_robson @KCrommie @BookBairn @librarymice @roaringreads A few that spring to mind:
@TanyaEfthymiou @OpenUni_RfP @TeresaCremin @jonnybid Felt like I was helping people with their feeling of being #BookRichWalletPoor! A pleasure to be on the chat for such an interesting evening. Glad you enjoyed.
@one_to_read I’d love to meet Cad from Lightfall! His wry observations, sense of adventure and unusually deep thoughts would be great for long walks #BooksNearBedtime
@RogMcDonald @MrHtheteacher @jonnybid @Reedyreading @SadiePhillips Thanks, Roger! You’d hopefully be surrounded with children, happy to share their favourite fiction, graphic novels, poems, picturebooks and information texts with you. Made it my focus this year to ensure I read to them diversely in terms of form, genre and authorship.
The first picturebook (of many, I hope) by @EarlyTrain. Matt’s poetic text takes us on a journey from otherness to acceptance, through our study of Shu Lin, a Chinese student new to the class. 2/3
@one_to_read I would go philosophical and say that if someone defines themselves as a reader it doesn’t matter about the ‘book’.

@one_to_read I love reading to transport me to another world. When that’s been difficult during lockdown, I’ve found computer games have a similar effect.
Narratives in gaming have come so far since their inception. A different reading skill but not a lesser one. #BooksNearBedtime
