Hooray for PLR day! Thank you to everyone who borrows books from libraries - and an extra big thank you if you have ever borrowed Mud Boy. When people borrow books from libraries, they’re not only supporting libraries - they’re also supporting authors directly.

Hadn’t planned on name-checking you when I spoke to the Primary PGCE students at Swansea Uni last week - but you can’t keep a good book down! @adrianbethune.bsky.social

Feedback like this reminds us why stories are powerful tools for wellbeing.

Please share Mud Boy with children - it might just change a bullied child’s life.

Teachers often message me and it’s a pleasure to give support.

Hi Sarah,
Thank you so much for these - the book has gone down an absolute storm in Year 5 - just the right book at just the right time.

If we make any work from our discussions around the book could I send you a couple of pictures?

Happy Christmas 🎄

The hair may be longer, but the message is the same: #antibullyingweek is over, but the fight against bullying goes on. Kidscape does incredible work all year round, and Mud Boy is a great book for schools to use whenever they need it.

Message from a headteacher

"I was really intrigued to find out if someone had actually nailed the hard subject of verbal bullying in a story we would be able to share with all the children. I don't have the words to adequately describe how powerful a tale I find Mud Boy to be!

We all have the power to do good!
This #AntiBullyingWeek, we pledge to always use our #PowerForGood to safely speak up and raise awareness when we see bullying.
Let’s make the world free from bullying for every child!

Mud Boy The sound of Sam's life was like the best piece of music you have ever heard. Everyone liked Sam, and Sam liked himself. But then one day the mud words begin and they get inside his head - and Sam can...

Thank you for this book. I love that it encourages our children to communicate and share their experiences so we can connect and support them.

The deep impact bullying has on a child doesn’t end when the bullying stops, it clings onto parts of them for the rest of their life. Many adults talk with pain - or can’t talk at all - about the bullying that happened to them in the past. Bullying is for life, not just for schooldays. #antibullying

💔 for you

Spent a lovely #BookshopDay at my local bookshop in Littlehampton. Will be back there again next month sporting a pair of odd socks for #antibullyingweek

Arcade Bookshop Arcade Bookshop. An Independent Bookshop with community at its heart. Enjoy a browse through our virtual shelves. If you can't find what you're looking for, it's most likely because we haven't yet add...

Are you thinking of purchasing a copy of Mud Boy to use during #antibullyingweek? May I ask that you support a small, independent bookshop in Littlehampton? If you already have a copy of Mud Boy, there are plenty of other great books. arcadebookshop.com

And if you were to ask about a pencil… I have a Yard-O-Led which is as old as I am!

When our son left for uni, many years ago, he gave us each a fountain pen, along with writing paper, envelopes - no stamps though! This will always be my favourite fountain pen, every day. It’s a faithful Parker.

Same! I’ve just told my husband he’s going to have to alert me to the alert. Which, I guess, is how a good marriage works anyway.

I’m a trier. I’ll give myself that.
