Well done Room 101 for putting into the bin all people who speak slowly and therefore getting rid of everyone who struggles with a speech impediment. Brilliant job!

Huge congratulations to Zillah and The Song Walker, Anne-Marie Conway and How to be More Hedgehog, and John Dougherty and Thomas Docherty 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🇪🇺 and The Hare-Shaped Hole. 🥂🥂🥂

& I am delighted that stammering is represented, we have a heroine who stammers & that others get to read about & consider the detrimental impact that bullying can have.

Yet another special reading fan of this truly beautiful book Anne-Marie Conway uclan publishing

Absolutely loved #HowtobeMoreHedgehog by Anne-Marie Conway. It tells a beautiful and important story of friendship, finding your brave and just having a voice even if it is hard to say the words sometimes. Year 4+ must read it. Themes of environment, animal welfare
