A very belated Happy New Year. We were hit, like so many others, with the Christmas flu. Bar a day out at Twickenham on the 28th, I've hardly left the house in three weeks! Slowly starting to feel human again but think I may leave starting the year properly until next week 😉

As we enter Children's Grief Awareness Week, I'm proud to share my conversation with John Adams. Over the past year, we've worked to open up conversations about death & how to talk to children. Check out our webinar shorturl.at/dTB0I #cskidsbooks #CGAW24 #BuildingHope

Have you seen the video interview "Are We Failing Students by Avoiding the Topic of Death?" with @CSKidsBooks & John Adams. It resonated with me on so many levels. Highly recommend giving it a watch: bit.ly/3yI6n5z #DeathAChangingIndustry #Bereavement #FITsocialmedia

Since publishing Don't Tell the Children with my FD pal, John, I'm intrigued to find out more about people's experiences, similar to those shared in the book. Can you spare a few minutes to fill in this form? Your help would be hugely appreciated ❤ forms.gle/wM6ypwxbKkwTAzK66

We understand that it can be a confusing time for children, teenagers and young adults when someone close to them dies. All of our branches stock @CSKidsBooks - beautifully written bereavement guides for all ages. Let us know how we can help. #Support #Bereavement #Books

After successfully raising £11k+ to put books into schools, I'm now converting my living room from 'warehouse' to 'family space'! It's been an interesting project. But a great feeling to know that hundreds of schools will be receiving free books over the coming weeks 📚❤️
