Thanks, L!

Thank you! And we were so lucky to find Leo Marcell. Perfect for Tosh. The whole project has been a total joy.

Ah, so good to hear that Tosh has helped in this way. It started "life" as a short story back in 1995 and eventually found a home thanks to the marvellous Joe Brady, who nurtured it and me into telling a braver, bigger story.

I just finished the marvellous Beastopia, the first in a new series by @chrissiesains.bsky.social. I think it’s the first book I’ve read with type 1 diabetes rep. Can anyone recommend any other books with good disability /chronic illness representation? #KidsBooksFriday #UKKidLit #KidLit #KidLitUK

Thank you for including our Tosh!
