Returned to Krakow’s Jewish Quarter today to make the #WeWillTellYourStories film for @Literacy_Trust My first trip here really helped me get my head round writing ‘After the War’. More here about what we’re planning: tompalmer.co.uk/holocaust-memo…

I agree with Hazel! I would definitely recommend #TheBoyInTheSuit by @JamesFoxWriter! Thank you everyone at #PrimarySchoolBookClub 📚 for the chat tonight!

Ahh I've been waiting to be asked this and nobody has until now! His full name is Solo Walker - as in he is walking alone. I had the name in my head for a couple of years before finding the character to go with it! #PrimarySchoolBookClub

A2b It’s great when children get to hear about the author’s craft-from the initial ideas and the drafting process to the final book. Seeing it is long process and that they don’t need to get their writing perfect first time is so important! #primaryschoolbookclub

A2a I always find that books themselves provide one of the best ‘ways in’ to discuss sensitive issues. Relating the issues to the characters they’ve become invested helps the children put themselves in their shoes & is a good starting point for discussion. #PrimarySchoolBookClub


Paula Drakard Reposted

A2 - I find that stories often provide a vehicle to addressing really important themes; discussing these in relation to the fictional characters (such as Solo) can help children explore issues in a safe way. #PrimarySchoolBookClub 📚


Paula Drakard Reposted

A2a) definitely fits well into work around friendships and keeping yourself and other safe in terms of keeping the secrets. #PrimarySchoolBookClub

A1. Such an important book - feels so grounded, its topical & it’s a rich story for classroom discussions. Such love between Solo and Morag & I found it really emotional #PrimarySchoolBookClub


Paula Drakard Reposted

I loved it. I slightly regretted reading it on public transport as there were moments when I would have preferred to be alone with my emotions. A rollercoaster ride, often hard to read as an outside observer as I was desperate for support to arrive sooner. #PrimarySchoolBookClub


Paula Drakard Reposted

A1. I thought this was a timely, sensitive and empathetic book-a window into the serious effects of food poverty and parental mental health on a child but told in a warm and sometimes humorous way, making it so accessible for young readers. I loved it. #PrimarySchoolBookClub
