I do not write books for boys. I do not write books for girls. I do not write books for any gender, or any age. I want my books to be read by ANYONE & EVERYONE who wants to read them, in whatever way they want to read them. #LetBooksBeBooks (Art: Quentin Blake)

@CassidyDamien Thanks for cutting out the birds for this project. They are all installed now.
Our artist’s apprentices helped to paint quotes and flight paths along the corridors. The great staff at Overthorpe CofE got stuck in too! . . . . #teamwork #artinschools #painting #community #communityarts #artsandwellbeing

“It’s nice having a chance to sit down and do this. You just don’t have time to normally.” “When they said we’d to paint a bird I wasn’t sure but I’ve enjoyed it!” #painting #community #artinschools #teamwork #artisforeveryone

Some great conversations were had while people were painting. Topics included feelings, school, birds of prey, hobbies, family, life goals... #painting #artandwellbeing #community #art #artinschools #conversation #birds

What a talented group of children and parents we have! We’ve had an amazing day creating our birds for the flock to celebrate the launch of our new school vision! “...in our family, we nurture the courage and skills to fly higher than then flock.” #family #nest #flyhigh

Love this idea! Buy a school bag and give one free to a child being placed in care to replace their 'bin bag.' @LittletownSch madlug.com
