children's & YA recommendations on the go
Not to be missed:
Superb report, by Sally Williams, of a conversation between Lauren Child and Quentin Blake
‘How important is it for you to still be working?’ Child asks Blake.
‘It is the most important thing there is,’ he says, adding, rather poignantly, ‘Sometimes I have to draw to cheer myself up.’
Highly Recommended World Service conversation – two children’s authors in conversation (Candy Gourlay and Leslea Newman)
a really clever and helpful book aimed at giving autistic children a better understanding of how everyday conversations work, using the analogy of a steam train.
