We are so delighted to share that we have *THREE BOOKS* from our clients shortlisted for the Peters Children’s of the Year Shortlist 2026! 🎉

Day 1: Our first book in the Picture Fiction for Early Readers category is 'Basil Dreams Big' by @_lufraser & @SarahWarbie, about a tiny bat with a huge dream and an even bigger heart! @simonkids_UK 🎄🎁📚 #Spark12BooksofChristmas

Kick off the holiday season with award-winning author NATHANAEL LESSORE at the Waterstones Piccadilly Christmas Evening this Thursday! 🎄📚🎁 See you there for an evening of books, author signings and Christmas cheer!

The government has announced that the new curriculum will include information on spotting misinformation and fake news - and there are some great books that could support this. Here are some we recommend, along with titles that explore lies and gossip: https://t.co/zcbG3N4f2Y

Already excited to see what will make the longlist. The #BranfordBoaseAward is a barometer of developments in children’s books & this year’s shortlist was particularly fresh; exactly the books young readers need to encounter.

Students in Bucks have voted and I am delighted to announce the 2026 Shortlists for the Children’s Book Prize and the Sue Harris YA Prize. Congratulations to @PeterBurns @edgechristopher @JamesFoxWriter @MGLnrd Mallory Arnold @sophiejowrites @NateLessore and @lcpalmerpoet

Thanks, @WaterstonesPicc I'll bring my signing pen, mince pies, and an old bottle of water that I've filled in the tap before leaving, that I'll forget in my rucksack and drink the following wondering if it's sanitary. Can't wait! @HotKeyBooks @DA_Childrens @LitAgentClare

Emotional gut punch, beautiful setting, and HD real characters, that goes down a road of real jeopardy. This gon be an incredible year for teen books

Gabriel M’s header so clinical I almost booked an appointment Martinelli showing Trossard what happens when you get more than 30mins sleep per night Gyokeres remembered he’s a striker Our back four are tighter than the straps on Simeone’s leather summer sandals #arsenal

David Raya has more clean sheets than a premier inn Gyokeres keeps forgetting to take his ankle weights off Cauliflorori looks more likely to score than our attackers Eze doing his best Sue Storm impression Arteta is a square wheel when it comes to attack #arsenal
