Introducing Honey and Jimmy, the mischievous stars of a fun new picture book by Anne & @moses_brian - together these playful canine pals try their best to save the planet and show young readers how they can help the environment! 🐾 🧵⬇️

@jabberworks @philipreeve1 @thebookeryhq @scholasticuk Thanks to you both! Two great events in one morning! 🤩

Great to see @philipreeve1’s Mortal Engines events packed out at @thebookeryhq! Some Very Knowledgable readers in the audience, top marks ⭐️ Thanks to @ClaireFLewis and Paddy Garrett for hosting! @scholasticuk

✨ Sweet tweet-tweet foreshadow here in this lovely illustration by Cortney Benvenuto! My book IN A CHRISTMAS HOUSE publishing in 2026 captures the anticipation and excitement of the magical holiday season! Guaranteed to ignite imagination for young readers! @little_press 🎄✨

@jabberworks 😂

When did escalators get so needy?

Great idea.

Two weeks today, March 5th, World Book Day, and the day that my chapter book in verse is published. Hoping it receives a warm welcome. @Scallywagpress Signed copies available if you’d like one from me.

Congratulations, Philip!!! #MortalEngines 🥳⚙️

Me painting, every day

@moses_brian Sorry to hear that - all best wishes for a full recovery soon!💐

Third hospital session today for a review of my infected hand which is looking a little less like something from a horror movie now. Get my loyalty card soon. Can’t praise the NHS staff enough for their skills and their concern.

To celebrate the start of the National Year of Reading 2026, here is a selection of poetry about books and reading .. brian-moses.blogspot.com @nealzetterpoet @CaroleBromley1 @BarbaraBleiman @JThomasABC @Literacy_Trust #GoAllIn2026 and #NationalYearOfReading2026.

I didn't make it into the final round of The Rhyming Challenge @nycmidnight but I DID get an honourable mention which was nice!

October was a new record for visits to my blog and November has smashed it by almost two thousand. Delighted that so many people like to use the material I post. Find ideas for writing and poetry to use in the classroom here : brian-moses.blogspot.com

When I’m feeling a bit overwhelmed, I love to redraw figures from illuminated manuscripts. It calms me and feels companionable, making roughly the same lines as some scribe 100, 200, 500 years ago. Sometimes I try to copy exactly, sometimes I add little changes to amuse myself ✍️
