So happy to see this book get the recognition it deserves. It is sensitive, thought provoking and beautifully written in spare but powerful verse - it has pride of place on my shelf. Thanks, @GlobalLitinLibs

Excellent article including some great recommendations of historical fiction. If you’re wondering which book to read first from the list that @candygourlay compiled, make it Wild Song. It’s SUCH a moving, thought provoking and compelling book.

I agree-Love the kidlit community! So many lovely (& talented!) creators, librarians & booksellers who support each other. I’m so lucky to know many of them incl you, @MaureenTai (I’m esp thankful for #SCBWI, esp @SCBWIHongKong @litfest_hk & the many schools I’ve been invited to)
The best thing about the #kidlit community is that everyone lifts everyone else up, no matter where we are on our writing journeys. I've learnt this by example from so many but particularly from @inkyelbows @candygourlay @dogini @StuartWhiteWM ❤️
Looking for good GN reads? Here is a great selection from Ace reviewer, @MaureenTai
And THIS is the shortlist I'm MOST EXCITED about 🤩
