Unique? Hardly. AI scrapes the work of human authors to ‘create’ these storybooks. Doesn’t ask permission or pay them. Think hard @EducationScot. You are promoting the erasure of real authors on #NationalStorytellingWeek
Simply describe the storybook you want (e.g. “Create a storybook for a 5 year old explaining people in our community who help us”) and Gemini will create a unique 10-page illustrated storybook complete with custom audio narration!👇#NationalStorytellingWeek

Enter Eddie Shakespeare by Barbara Henderson – coming this April! 🎭
Eddie wants to follow his big brother Will to London and become a star.
Problem: Will doesn’t want him there… and his life is in danger.
Only Eddie can save him!

SUPER SUPER proud of Dean Atta and his team for winning the BAFTA yesterday for TWO BLACK BOYS IN PARADISE which is stunning. I knew they would win, I could feel it in my gut! It's on Channel 4 if you want to see the short! It's beautiful! Congrats DEAN!!!!!
We are over the moon to see that TWO BLACK BOYS IN PARADISE, based on the poem by Dean Atta, took home the @BAFTA for British Short Animation last night! Huge congratulations!🥳🏆

Books for children should never be considered secondary to books for grown-ups. They are the most important of them all! ❤️
