š Our final author announcement is here⦠and completes our amazing line-up or authors, illustrators and poets. š
We are so thrilled to Ged Adamson!
Gedās breakthrough picture book, Douglas You Need Glasses!, won rave reviews, and heās since written and illustrated many more, including Shark Dog! and A Fox Found a Box.
Heāll be sharing his brand-new book, That Bird Can Draw! A funny, touching story about creativity, not comparing yourself to others, and the joy of doing what you love. Can Vera the bird (with a little help from Grandad) prove that EVERYONE can be a great artist? š
Not long now!!

šāØ WHAT AN EVENING! āØšĀ Last night we welcomed 20+ teachers and education professionals from 12 different primary schools and nurseries across Thanet, including specialist SEND settings, to our very first @happyreadingbookshop Ć @nosycrow Educational Evening! š
And what a brilliant evening it was!
š¬Ā Nicci talked about how Happy Reading Childrenās Bookshop supports Thanetās primary schools and nurseries in fostering a love of reading (from book recommendations and resources to class visits, author events and more).
š¬Ā The wonderful childrenās author-illustrator @gedadamson had a room full of teachers giggling as they joined him for a draw-along and created their very own creature-characters! āļøšĀ
š¬Ā Kellie, Head of UK Field Sales at Nosy Crow, shared the incredible story of this multi-award-winning independent childrenās publisher, their books, achievements, free audiobooks and teaching resources⦠as well as the vital importance of supporting your local independent bookshop! š„¹š
š„š¾There was plenty of time for drinks, nibbles and book chat too with teachers browsing (and VERY enthusiastically shopping!) our Happy Reading Nosy Crow bookstall with an exclusive event-only 50% discount. š
šļøā¤ļøĀ ā¦and every attendee went home with their very own FREE Nosy Crow goodie bag!
It was wonderful to hear teachers making plans to bring their classes to Happy Reading, discovering how we can help arrange author visits for their schools, sharing ideas with one another and, most importantly, getting excited about brilliant childrenās books.āļø
šĀ HUGE thank yous to Nosy Crow, Kellie and Ged for helping us create such a special evening; to HRCBās Rosina and Jo; and to every teacher and education professional who gave up their evening to join us.
šĀ Our first Educational Evening was everything I hoped it would be: fun, inspiring, collaborative and completely centred around getting wonderful books into the hands of children.
Hereās to lots more! šāØ
Happy Reading Childrenās Bookshop, STAPLE, 30A Reading Street in Broadstairs on the Isle of Thanet, Kent.
Love and support your local b

Sorry if you didnāt catch super talented Ged Adamson painting Vera onto the ChocoLit childrenās bookshop window. But thereās still time to pick up a copy of āThat Bird Can Drawā to read with a special little one. Ged has signed, and done an original doodle, in each copy, so hurry on in!
ā¦especially if you want to pick up a hardback copy as these are now days away from going out of print already!
Where are we? Right in Clapham Old Town, next door to @gailsbakery
So grab a coffee, and come in to check out the super talented Vera, because That Bird Can Draw!

Please sign this important open letter to Andy Burnham. Put together by Graham Lovelace, it asks for a change in direction from Labour in its disastrous relationship with Big Tech. UK creative jobs are already under massive stress because of this. If things donāt change, there will soon be very little of our creative industries left. Please share with others once youāve signed.

New releases from Nosy Crow!
AD|PR
Thereās such a lovely mix of humour, learning, interaction and beautiful illustrations across these titles, and we canāt wait to share them with youā¦
š¦ That Bird Can Draw
A really funny picture book from one of my favourite illustrators, Jed Adamson.
Full of humour and personality, this one had us smiling from start to finish.
š¦ Say Hello Like an Armadillo
A gorgeous picture book with wonderfully inclusive illustrations that introduces little readers to the different ways animals greet one another.
š My Big Playbook: Animals
We already love these playbooks, so weāre very pleased to add the animal edition to our collection.
Packed with interactive learning, itās great for introducing first words, colours and numbers.
š¦ 100 First Words: Dinosaurs
A brilliant lift-the-flap book for dinosaur lovers. I especially love that each dinosaur includes a pronunciation guide alongside itāperfect for anyone who struggles with those tricky dinosaur names!
š What a Night
Such a unique book with split pages that create different story combinations as you turn them. Iāve never seen anything quite like it before.
Every one of these books also comes with a QR code you can scan to hear the story read aloud, making them even more engaging for little readers.
Which of these would your little one like to read?
