Visited the wonderful Killicomaine JHS in Northern Ireland last week who have adopted me as their Patron of Reading 2025/2026 Such a vibrant school. Their passion for the importance of reading is championed by the most amazing partnership of Helen Doogan and Andrea McAllister #patronofreading

Lipson Vale Primary School, Plymouth - Today we had the pleasure of welcoming Joffrewhite, Author and a UK Patron of Reading to our school. He spent the morning engaging with our Key Stage 2 classes, sharing insights and stories that sparked curiosity and creativity. In the afternoon, pupils in years 3 - 6 were treated to an unforgettable Reading Motivator Show - packed with laughter, energy and inspiration. We hope Joffre's passion for storytelling has inspired a love of reading and writing in out young learners. Thank you Joffre, for a truly memorable day!

A massive thank you to everyone that voted for Aura Boy in the People's Book Prize 2025, sadly it didn't win, but as it was a global competition, (the winner was an Australian filmmaker/author), I was over the moon to have been shortlisted.
Two shortlist recognitions for Aura Boy have been fabulous.
