A photo of a large group of people, standing. Most are mid-whooping! Smiles & laughter. At the centre is this years’s Little Rebels Award Winner, Sarah Hagger-Holt, holding a framed picture of 3 toddlers (one of whom is holding a ‘Take Action’ placard). To her left is Ken Wilson Max, the artist who created the picture. They stand in a space surrounded on all sides by bookshelves.
Hi #LittleRebelsAward Folk!
10 days on and we’re still absolutely buzzing 🐝from our award evening.
A huge thank you to @theclpe.bsky.social for allowing us to host in their glorious Literacy Library.
For your weekend, we leave you with this JOYFUL moment below…

“Even though there isn't the same organised effort at book banning in the UK…there could be a knock-on effect”
A fascinating author take on their books being banned in N America

Chair, Darren Chetty, sat down, in profile. He is speaking, holding a mic in left hand and looking down at his iPhone in right hand. To his left is author Cathy Jenkins who looks down, laughing.
Author SF Layzell holds a mic & is talking. To her left is author Cathy Jenkins. To her right is author Elle McNicholl and, next to her, author Sarah Hagger-Holt. All are sat down, front facing. Everyone is smiling.
Author Sarah Hagger-Holt has the mic now and is gesturing with her other hand, legs crossed, in a casual pose. To her right is a big board with a kids book illustration (red riding hood?) To her left is Elle McNicholl who is turned towards her and laughing. To her left we can just see SF Layzell.
Now Elle holds the mic. The other panellists are all laughing.
1/2 A fabulous Little Rebels Award Shortlistee Panel at our award night last week. Thank you @darrenchetty.bsky.social for your always-thoughtful & inquisitive chairing. And thank you @sarahhaggerholt.bsky.social @ellemcnicoll.bsky.social @sflayzell.bsky.social &Cathy Jenkins..

..inevitable—but that will not be possible. Our audience will continue to grow and remain hungry for our books. Readers will search out these stories wherever they can.”
Solid words, there.

I have a question for #kidslituk
How much should I pay attention to Amazon Sales Rankings?
It’s nice to see low figures but the categories are so niche and filled with legacy titles/ bizarre entries like activity books, it’s hard to know how much to care?

I’ve been wanting to read more verse stories after The Final Year & I’d definitely recommend The House At The Edge Of The World if you’re the same! A great central mystery around an enchanting mansion & a battle for its ownership. Magical & with family at its heart, it’s gripping #kidslituk
