When you’re the tallest giant in the world, how can you hear what people are saying when they’re SO far down? Making friends is tough and life can be lonely. The Giant tries something surprising to solve this problem. She doesn't want to be lonely for ever - my latest rhyming PB
The Reverend Sue Parfitt, an 83-year-old retired Anglican priest from Bristol, was among 20 people arrested in London today "on suspicion" of supporting Palestine Action. Am I allowed to say she's a hero, or is that banned too? She's a hero. Please share if you agree.
Look what I have! It’s FAB. It’s funny and surprising and KIND - ‘Chickens have feelings too.’ The meter is perfect and the message is even better! @WritesSue Ayu Desyana @hb_publishing_ LOVE IT 🥰

Thatcher sold the North Sea oil fields & in return we got a broken Britain & 171 billionaires. Norway kept their much smaller oil fields & today have the biggest sovereign wealth fund in the world $1.4 trillion. But yeah, it's socialists that run out of other people's money.
Why do we have and pay for public libraries ? Because a society (community), in which people read widely is more respectful, kinder, better informed and more civil than one in which there is little reading. That is the experience of thousands of years all round the world
