It's #PositiveTwitterDay and I can't think of anything on Twitter that is more positive and joyful than the children's book and writing community.
Such a welcoming, encouraging, and supportive group of gloriously lovely and talented people.

Just as well we haven't planned an outdoor launch for our programme then, eh? #Inverness is throwing some weather at us today, but we'll be outside @WatInverness handing out our shiny festival programmes 11-3. All events FREE and booking opens on Eventbrite at mid-day.
Say hi!😊
