I’d like to take this moment to express my gratitude to everyone who has read and shared our books, as well as to the many other professionals I’ve had the pleasure of working with.

Having worked with us as a distributor for some time, Jan is already well-acquainted with our picture books and shares our passion for creating meaningful and beautiful stories. I’m confident she will continue to honour and nurture our mission.

We have some exciting news to share with you, which you may have already heard. After twelve hugely rewarding years leading Book Island, I’ve recently passed the torch to the new owner, publisher Jan Urupongsa.

Dear EYFS teachers, what would be a good EYFS conference for children's publishers to attend? Does every country have its own conference? #EYFS

Book Island are an amazing independent publisher. Have recently created resources for their book Witchfairy (author Brigitte Minne, illustrator Carll Cneut, translator Laura Watkinson), a highly entertaining story which challenges stereotypes. Link here: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/rea…

Introduced a 'Read With A Friend' graphic novel display this morning. By the end of the afternoon, quite a few of them had already been borrowed. Thank you @ImogenM16, another one of your fantastic #ReadingForPleasure ideas is up and running. #Edutwitter

What a fabulous resource - just love it when a great book comes with a support like this. Makes it easier for teachers to use it as a resource
