So lovely to catch up with @jslwilliamson this morning for a VERY exciting meeting. I always have to pinch myself that I get to work with such brilliant publishing teams. More details soon, but there’s the teeniest of clues in one of the photos for any detectives out there!

Children's books build empathy, compassion, and understanding. They can transport readers to whole new worlds and back again, all without leaving your sofa. They can comfort, they can delight. They are magical.
