It's very nearly here! Dive into a future that explores a potential outcome of #Superintelligence. It's not all bad. But it's not all good, as a group of youths is about to find out, armed only with a guitar, some ancient wisdom and desperate will to live. #AI #YAdystopia #hope.

Want to raise some money for the @WildOtterTrust? Perhaps you know a child who would like a book and a cuddly toy to hug while they read it. Make a bid!

It's #WorldQuantumDay! Bit of a LEAP, but why not get stuck into a book that explores Everrett's Many Worlds Theory: the Carnegie-nominated, addictive teen thriller #Splinters, by @racheldelahaye.

POEM 1 Things That Should Be in a Poem. As promised, I’ll be sharing 2 poem videos every week that will form 2 collections on my YouTube channel, @rumblecoral - 14 poems from Things That Should Be in a Poem (4+yrs) & 14 from Riding a Lion (7+yrs). I hope this will be useful.

Dystopian fic, surprisingly needed more than ever. Brilliantly explained here by @MimiThebo and also what I discuss in school talks. It doesn't condescend; it readies us for eventualities; it reminds us that nothing is inevitable if we connect and create solutions. #TheEmptying

After the Easter break, I’ll be sharing 2 poem videos a week that will, by the end of term, result in 2 collections - 14 poems from Things That Should Be in a Poem & 14 from Riding a Lion. I hope this will be a useful resource for teachers. Here’s a taster.

This week, I’ve had the joy of working with 8 schools - all staffed with devoted teachers - topped and tailed by 2 festival weekends - staffed by devoted volunteers. Foot soldiers in schools and the arts are essential cogs in the wheel of success. Children were involved, too. 😉
