My acceptance speech last night was a pure mind blank moment, and I didn't say what I wanted, so just to add a huge thank you to everyone for their support. Books build empathy and we should shout from the roof tops about children's books. Hope, empathy, joy.

The @jhalakprize submission window closes tomorrow. Publishers - if you haven't sent in books but want to, get in touch with the Jhalak Prize organisers! I know for a fact that some publishers leave it very late or don't send in books at all. That is a disservice to your authors.
#JhalakPrize2025 submissions close TOMORROW! Please get in touch if you haven't yet submitted your incredible authors!

Reminded how I was being told by (white) publishing folk already in 2018 that “diversity as a trend is over.”
There was never any commitment to change from publishing. Why would there be? Short🧵
🔊 Our 7th annual #ReflectingRealities report is out now! This year’s report shows a significant drop in the presence of racially minoritised characters in books published for children in 2023 in the UK.
