I love this so much! A guide to 40 book heroes, with a huge range of time periods and genres included. Similar to Wide Eyed's 40 Icons series but with book characters ❤️. I'd love something like this in English!

I’ve been looking forward to the latest Create Your Own from @BeckyGoddardH @drawinglibrary this one, #CYOkindness is a true gem - no surprises really as Becky really does deliver all she promises! Perfect for any Primary clubs/small group work, alone or with friends and family.

This looks like 1 of the 4 guys at the library waiting for the other 2 to get done with the only newspaper they want to read.

In the current climate of anxiety & worry it’s great to have @BeckyGoddardH #createyourowncalm I’ve tried a spot of earthing, just one of the many activities, & quietly focusing on the sounds around me, simple but effective. Great illustrations too @drawinglibrary #cyocalm

So my brilliant kid, who spent 5 years in and out of hospital and is disabled, had her teachers’ grades marked down and has lost her place at university. She got straight As at GCSE, mostly teaching herself in hospital. She called the uni. They said they’re full. I give up.

The library has heard your complaints about wearing masks and have decided to listen to virologists rather than the guy who donated all his National Geographics to "help us out."

White people: We gotta talk about burn out. You aren’t conditioned to be thinking about race this much because of your privilege. We need you to do all you’re doing today, tomorrow, and until the end of time. Let’s talk about ways to focus on current & systemic change. 👇🏽
