@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
@TeresaCremin @HubRoade @AdrianBethune @one_to_read @son1bun @bcb567 @ecawemma @robin2reader @EmpathyLabUK @RS_Hargreaves @OpenUni_RfP Lots of children must be missing the contact with their families right now.
Such a beautiful and tender text crafted by @Heather_T_Smith and #RachelWada. The digital / traditional sumi-e artwork and heartfelt narrative really hit home.
@one_to_read Building on my previous comment, I think that graphics are especially rich for re-reading. It’s like a slow look - now that you know the narrative, you’re able to make links & connections to events you’ve experienced. It allows you to notice & pick up threads 🧶
