Hey @scbwi - Any pointers as to how to get book reviews as an indie #picturebook #author? Seems like anyone with any weight will only take trad published :-( I am talking specifically in the #UK #book market. #booklovers #indieauthors #selfpublishing #struggles

@ukedchat I've just published a book which I am told would be great for #primaryschools #recoverycurriculum I am looking to make connections. Any help would be much appreciated! #ifyounevertryyoullneverknow 😆
Earth Takes a Break - A picture book by Emily House. Earth feels unwell so she goes to the doctor. What the doctor prescribes seems impossible to Earth until she wakes the next day to a surprising change! A modern fable inspired by the events of the Covid-19 crisis, Earth Takes a Break is a touching picture book jam-packed with fun illustrations and woven together with a message of hope. The gentle, timeless story can be enjoyed by everyone. It has the bonus of being a clever tool to help children process aspects of lockdown without any explicit reference to the pandemic as well as subtly prompting discussion around environmental issues.

Hi #writingcommmunity - I've been approached by a local primary school who want to use my book to help kids process #covid - And I was thinking maybe other #schools might also be interested - Any #tips to connect with other #teachers & gauge interest? #kidlit #scwbi #pbchat

Just created my author page on Amazon but wasn't very inspired. I think I will need to revisit my bio and pep it up a bit! amazon.com/author/emilyhouse #amazon #author #illustrator #kidlit #writingcommunity #kidsbooks #picturebooks
Just how did Owl and Pussycat get their mits on that beautiful boat and all that money? This mad-cap comedy caper tells how events really unfolded and reveals how this loved-up pair were not actually the charming couple Edward Lear originally portrayed them to be! #PB #PBPitch

'TREEMERGENCY!' Too young to understand the seasons, Tilly panics when her favorite tree begins to lose its leaves. Worried her poor friend is dying, she does everything in her power to save it. This #PB is a humorous, gentle exploration of the rhythms of nature. #PB #PBPitch
