That looks like a sneaky board book nestling in the zines display @housmans_books 🤔 . . No! My First Book of Protest by Julie Merberg and @mollytheillustrator introduces iconic radical dreamers and activists, from Malala Yousafzai to Frederick Douglass, Greta Thunberg to Rosa Parks, along with super simple summaries of the action they took - the moments in history when it was time to stand up and say NO. 📢 . . The lights are out for most radical booksellers at the moment, but Housmans has a wishlist feature so you can always save this one for later - create a wishlist and Housmans will email you as soon as the online store is up and running. housmans.com/product-category/childrens . . Watch this space for more news on what radical booksellers are up to 👀 . . #littlerebelsaward #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #juliemerberg #mollyegan #kidlitillustration #indiebookstore #bookstagram #radicalbookselling

#Repost . . A wonderful idea from Little Rebels shortlisted @nadine_kaadan , we’re so looking forward to hearing her read 💚 . . “@nadine_kaadan I’ve been planning to read my book, ‘Tomorrow’ and sharing some online content for all the lovely kids around the world who are stuck at home. 🌍‬ . . I can’t think of anything more relevant than my book ‘Tomorrow’. A story about a little boy, Yazan, who has to stay at home because it’s not safe for him to go outside. So his family come together and create an imaginative and beautiful safe space inside their house. 🙌🏾 . . I think now, more than ever lots of children around the globe are feeling the same way Yazan did. Whether they are stuck inside because of War or because of the ‪#‬CoronaVirus. . . P.S. Please bear with me, the story reading will be posted soon! Working from home has been especially difficult with a toddler running around making it impossible to get anything done ❤☺😅 . . Sending you all lots of love, please stay safe everyone! Nadine x” . . . #StayAtHome #Tomorrow #covid_19 #coronavirus #homeschoolingUK #resources #hopeful #storyreading

Some bookshops are closing, some are open for now, some are offering online and telephone ordering. It's a tough time for everybody but if you are ordering books from home please do try and support and indie if you can. . . Meanwhile, we’re going to keep celebrating radical bookstores and everything they have to offer! Here's the children's section at Five Leaves Bookshop @fiveleavesbooks in Nottingham (https://fiveleavesbookshop.co.uk). Five Leaves are founder members of the Alliance of Radical Booksellers and they co-run out sister prize, the Bread & Roses Award. They stock a broad range of books but are thoroughly radical at heart! As they say: . . “We are radical in that the shop supports those who want to change the world for the better. This is reflected in the books we stock and the events we promote. It would be impossible to pay the rent if we ONLY stocked politically radical books… but radical is a broad word. Personal change, political change, understanding history, understanding the world we live in… anarchist, socialist, green… we are not prescriptive." . . #bookstagram #radicalbookselling #shelfie #kidlit #indiebookstore #fiveleavesbookshop

We’re over the moon to have secured funding this year from The Barry Amiel & Norman Melburn Trust to support our work promoting and rewarding progressive & social justice fiction for children in the UK. 2020 shortlist coming in April! 💛 . . #littlerebelsaward #bookstagram #kidlit #kidsbookstagram #socialjustice

#Repost (Elys Dolan, former Little Rebels shortlisted whose picture-book Mr Bunny’s Chocolate Factory is a fab kids’ introduction to exploitation and labour rights!) . . Posted @withregram • @elysdolan Support and solidarity to all my fellow @ucunion members on strike this week. Here's to manageable workload, fair pay, equality and secure contracts! #ucustrike #ucustrikesback #ucu #mrbunnyschocolatefactory #strike #equality
