Two more school bookings for next Autumn including NPD came in today. October’s looking quite busy already. Searched for a 2026-2027 academic diary to add them to but will need to wait-they’re not available yet!

Nearly done ...
Right now, new children's poems are being added each day to @TheDirigible 's online poetry bank. It's like an advent calendar! Why not open one of the doors and peek inside? 👀 https://t.co/3JsdTFY9iC

Lovely to do an interview with @LondonISP after being a finalist in this year's poetry competition. Had to give a namecheck to the ever-inspiring @moses_brian for being the spark that helped me start writing again a few years ago. https://t.co/fyFdTS2GFH

So agree, Fiona. A Classroom of Stars is always in my school bag and is a fabulous collection. I gifted my first copy to a teacher who picked it up on a school visit and couldn’t put it down ❤️
I always enjoy Val Harris’ poetry. Her book, ‘A Classroom of Stars’, has so many delightful poems on a variety of subjects. It would be a welcome addition to any bookshelf, either at home or school! Check out her great website and new poems for Advent and Christmas! 🎄 🎅
