I’d hazard a guess that the number of celebrity children’s books created as a brand extension exercise rather than a quality reading experience doesn’t help children’s books achieve the respect and consideration they deserve.
Why is children's literature not considered as important as other literature? 📚
Gruffalo and Tabby McTat author Julia Donaldson tells @JustinOnWeb that despite Britain being 'famous' for children's books, she's unsure why the genre gets 'little attention'.

I put 9 long, hard years of my life into writing TYGER because I believe children's books are the most important books of all. So it was beyond incredible to see it win Children's Book Of The Year at the #BritishBookAwards. Thank you @thebookseller @theweekjunior & the judges!!!
Congratulations to TYGER by @whatSFSaid, illustrated by @DaveMcKean, winner of Book of the Year: Children's Fiction (supported by @theweekjunior)! All the judges agreed that the book already "felt like a classic" @DFB_storyhouse #BritishBookAwards #Nibbies

People moan about celebrity authors but the reason publishers turn to big names is that there is ZERO national converation about children's books.

A child in year 1 has submitted a question for a @MichaelRosenYes event I am organising… “if they’re scared of bears, why did that family go on a bear hunt?”
Just giving you the heads up, Michael…
