(no caption) 05 Feb 2024 Very exciting to see Tadpole Summer on so many awards list! My hubbie likes to say 'it's the hope that kills you' - but surely a girl can dream! 04 Nov 2026 Be still my beating heart .... absolutely over the moon that Tadpole Summer has been nominated for the Carnegie Medal for Writing 2027, alongside a stellar list of other titles. This little writer's heart is warmed and fluttering! 02 Nov 2026 (no caption) 01 Nov 2026 What an honour to be involved in the amazing Daunt Books Children's Short Story Competition. My pupils have been entering for years (many have been winners too!) So I know what a wonderful opportunity this is for young writers to see their work in print in an actual bookshop. To be asked to write the foreword to the Anthology is such a privilege (no, I am not involved in judging- phew!) Cannot wait to read the winning entries! Do encourage any young writers you know to enter! 22 Oct 2026 Tickled pink to see 'Tadpole Summer' on the Peters Children's Book of the Year longlist, with so many great titles! Winners of each category, and the overall winner, are chosen by teaching staff, school librarians, and public library staff across the UK, which I totally love! 22 Oct 2026 The wait is over - the Daunt Books Children’s Short Story Competition is open for a new year of submissions! Every year this competition celebrates the wonderful creativity of children’s stories so why not get writing (or typing) and help make this another fantastic year. You might even have your story published, along with the other winners, in a book! The book of winning stories will have a cover designed by Mariajo Ilustrajo author of Unexpected Guests and I Love Books! and will be introduced by Catherine Bruton, author of No Ballet Shoes in Syria and Tadpole Summer. The competition is open to stories written by children between 4 and 15 years old living in the UK, and closes on the 17th January 2027, so there is lots of time to get writing! Head online to see all the information you need, including how to enter. Please share with the young writers in your life! We can’t wait to read their stories. Good luck! 22 Oct 2026 🖍️✏️🖍️✏️🖍️✏️🖍️✏️🖍️✏️🖍️ Every year the Daunt Books Children’s Short Story Competition celebrates the wonderful creativity of children’s stories so why not get writing (or typing) and help make this another fantastic year.

I am in awe of the incredible work both organisations are doing to get books into young readers' hands, as well as the wonderful schools, working so hard to promote reading. A truly inspirational day! Thankyou all! 08 Oct 2026 Thank you so much to @nationalliteracytrust Swindon and @expect.amazing for inviting me to lovely schools in Swindon, full of brilliant bookworms and budding authors! The incredible work done by both these wonderful organisations is inspirational! And what incredible schools too! A real privilege to be part of! 08 Oct 2026 It has been a complete honour to be one of the few first readers of the proof of @catherineabruton ‘s first YA verse novel 💕✨#missingpieces Catherine’s book is a tender, sensitive, and deeply empathetic story of 15 year old Arti’s relationship with her unpredictable, formally famous, pop star Mum, Sadie Sim, who now cannot keep it together, and certainly can’t always remember. The result is a constantly chaotic life for Arti, where she cares for her mum rather than the other way round. Arti feels that she needs to keep their real home life secret so that she is not taken away from her Mum. However her friend Zephyr gives Arti the strength to try to uncover major secrets about her Mum’s past, and Arti’s origins……and why Sadie keeps forgetting when Arti really needs her keep hold of her memories. Ultimately Arti learns how to accept the help they both need. I have been a huge fan of Catherine’s since I first read No Ballet Shoes in Syria many years ago, which is a book EVERY child needs to read. And I’ve certainly made sure many have!! Earlier this year I finally met Catherine in person at the brilliant @bonnierbooks_uk showcase and we instantly clicked!! That was when I first heard about Missing Pieces, and I was very grateful to be given the proof by @amberivassan at the @youthlibrariesgroup conference 💕✨📚 I highly recommend pre-ordering! Missing Pieces, published by @hotkeybooks , with an utterly gorgeous cover by @naranjalidad , is out on 13th May 2027 💕📚✨ #catherinebruton #justseventeen #yaversenovel #huntingtons 💕 02 Oct 2026 (no caption) 02 Oct 2026
