25.01.2022 It had been one of those days. First of all, the sun was the wrong shape, in a sky that was too blue.... Then, Maggies shoes would not go on properly. Her socks were even worse. The stupid pencil wasnt working all the squiggles were too squiggly, or not squiggly enough. Finally, the spaghetti was too long, and the pyjamas were the wrong kind of pyjama. Is someone in your house having one of those days? It could be time to meet Maggie. Written by Kat Patrick and Illustrated by Evie Barrow. Australia & NZ: out now!

24.01.2022 This week’s #illustrationtuesday features work from the brilliant Emily Robertsonillustrator of our latest non-fiction STEAM titleMr Shaha’s Marvellous Machines (written by Alom Shaha). As with its predecessor, ‘Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder’, this book combines instructional text, scientific information, and personal stories and requires a huge range and amount of work from an illustrator. Emily worked tirelessly to bring warmth and personality to the book while still crea...ting an illustrated text that was useable from a practical point-of-view. When Scribble started working with Alom on this serieswe were all adamant that we wanted to create a visual style that would stand apart from the photography and straight typography that is used in so many kids’ science experiment-based titles. Emily has really defined this look for us and it is a delight to read and work through. We’ll have more in the next few weeks from Emily about her artistic process but here is a small and beautiful selection of some of the illustrations that make up the wider body of this spectacular work.

24.01.2022 Smart at drawing witches hats, smart at gluing wings on bats. Smart at rhyme and telling time, and building cubbies, making slime.... The last few months of learning from home have been an incredible challenge for kids and parents alike. It hasnt been easy for anyone. But with the support of teachers, and by supporting each other, were certain that youve discovered more than one new way you are smart. Whether youre on summer break, or about to begin a new school term, were wishing you luck and witches hats. #allthewaystobesmart #learningfromhome #multipleintelligences #emotionalintelligence #creativity #family #friendship See more

24.01.2022 We are so excited that Mr Shaha’s Marvellous Machines by Alom Shaha illustrated by Emily Robertson, is publishing in the UK and AU today! Mr Shaha’s Marvellous Machines is the highly anticipated sequel to Mr Shaha’s Recipes for Wonder (called ‘glorious’ by The Guardian and ‘brilliant’ by Nikesh Shukla). In it, science teacher and dad, Alom Shaha, shows you how to transform and recycle household objects into home-made toys and machines. Each of the projects detailed in the bo...ok helps kids to develop skills in key STEM areas, encourages the joy of making things, and the best part, costs practically nothing to build, because the materials like rubber bands and food colouring can be found in your house right now.

18.01.2022 Melbourne childrens bookshop The Little Bookroom has announced a fantastic new picture book subscription, available Australia-wide. Were really proud that the very first parcel will include a copy of IZZY AND FRANK by Katrina Lehman and Sophie Beer. #Repost @little_bookroom... GOOD NEWS: With a profound sense of pride - and excitement - we launch our Seasonal Subscription for picture books! Three outstanding Australian picture books delivered to your door every three months for $85 including delivery by courier Australia wide. You choose: purchase a one off bundle give a gift to another, or yourself. The Autumn selection has been revealed, but Winter will be a surprise... This is a passion project - in the works for years - that shot up our list of priorities in response to the dramatic drop in picture book sales caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. Recommending books and readers brings us great and honest joy. And we reckon many of you dig our recs too. But there are many folk who don't have a local bookshop, or access to children's specialist bookseller or librarian. We're hoping this subscription is another small step toward filling that void.

Making Shapes The 3yr olds were recently making shapes and it reminded me of a fun picture book Watch This! by @beciorpin @janiegodwin and @hilarywalkerphotography ... I always appreciate books that take a learning topic and present it in a different or quirky way. This book shows children forming shapes with their bodies and so I challenged the boys to make some shapes themselves.

12.01.2022 ‘I think we all have an innate desire to make things, but often lack the opportunity to do so in the modern world, where so much of what we consume and use is made for us. I don’t want to make any promises, but constructing the ‘marvellous machines’ in this book might just bring you joy in ways you haven’t imagined, and make you better equipped to go out and help the world with your own ideas and skills.’ Alom Shaha Alom Shaha is a parent, teacher, science writer, and fil...mmaker, and is devoted to sharing his passion for science and education with the public. He teaches at a comprehensive school in London and writes for a number of print and online publications, including ‘The Guardian’.

12.01.2022 I was interested in demonstrating a mutual mode of self-expression for parents and kids alike. The idea of howling was a sort of re-assertion of unruliness. I wanted to translate the overwhelming enormity of certain feelings into something physical. (In these strange and surreal months, I suppose screaming inside your heart might be the more modern method.)'

06.01.2022 Have you ever pondered how illustrators create worlds that hold such depth and wonder? Evie Barrow recently gave us an insight into her favoured materials when illustrating HOWL. 'For the illustrations in Howl, I mainly used two of my favourite materials. Dry pastels, which are great for smudging colour to creating movement and moodiness. And coloured pencil, which I love for their humbleness and accessibility, they also create lots of texture. Another material used on ...top of these were wax crayons. Finally, digital editing and additional drawing in Procreate.' Image of early colour sketches for HOWL by Kat Patrick and illustrated by Evie Barrow. Australia & NZ: out now! USA & Canada: out now!

'Tigani has been finding a lot of solace in nonfiction books about World War II right now, but her top recommendation for pandemic reading is a childrens picture book written by Davina Bell and illustrated by Allison Colpoys, All the Ways to be Smart. I think right now we might feel scattered, and we might feel confused, and we might feel like were not doing our best job, Tigani says.

02.01.2022 To top it all, Maggie’s two front teeth decided it was the right time to fall out. But, after lights out,... two small fangs grew back in their place. She could touch their sharpness with her tongue. Maggie began to have wolfish thoughts. Do you know someone who had lots of wolfish thoughts this week? It could be time to Meet Maggie!

02.01.2022 Bernadette Green was inspired by her daughters to write WHOS YOUR REAL MUM? This beautiful picture book is a joyful celebration of love and family. My kids have two mums and when they started school one of the questions they were asked was, Which mum is your real mum? I wanted to answer the natural curiosity in children in a way that took the pressure off kids from same-sex families, using humour and friendship to expand the sense of family beyond biology alone. #whosyourrealmum #twomums #twomumfamily #scribblekidsbooks #loveislove #rainbowfamily #picturebook
