We've heard conflicting reports about this, but we decided to write a letter to The White House and @potus and @realdonaldtrump just in case. #letgirlslearn #girlpower #womenandgirls #neverthelessshepersisted #nevergiveup #booksforbetter #kidslit #kidsbooksrule #pennycandybooks #thehunt (at Oklahoma City, Oklahoma)

The brilliant @mattdelapena reading #laststoponmarketstreet to some very lucky kids at #virginiachildrensbookfestival and telling them secrets about the book along the way. It's making me wish I was in the second grade again! #booksforbetter #kidsbooks

“We need diverse books to be sure, but those must be part of a literature that reflects our reality, books in which little black boys push one another on the swings, in which little black girls daydream about working in the zoo, in which kids of every colour do what kids of every colour do every day: tromp through the woods, obsess about trucks, love their parents, refuse to eat dinner. We need more books in which our kids are simply themselves, and in which that is enough” (Rumaan A 2016, Slate.com).

“This is an excellent resource for anyone who wishes to link picture books to nature through Indigenous art techniques”(flicking on the book 2016).

Also an article by Imogen Russell in The Guardian (July 2015).

“Picture books that draw the line against pink stereotypes”
