Huge congratulations to Dame @malorieblackman.bsky.social & Dame Julia Donaldson! 👏 We're delighted to see these two former Waterstones #ChildrensLaureates recognised in the King's Birthday Honours - it's so richly deserved. They have both done so much to help children discover the joy of reading!

"To write is to live for me." We were delighted to speak to Surah ya Salaam, one of our 26-27 Dame Malorie Blackman Scholarship recipients, on writing, resilience and finding the confidence to keep going. ✍ www.citylit.ac.uk/blog/surah-y... @citylit.bsky.social @malorieblackman.bsky.social

Just finished Noughts and Crossed by @malorieblackman.bsky.social I’m not sure why I’ve never read it before. In tears. Read it if you haven’t already. Looking at it with a student over the summer - can’t wait to talk about it with her.
