I, and many other adults it seems, simply love to read children’s books. There must be a reason. In my case as a children’s writer, part of the reason might be to check out other children’s authors out there, what they write about, how they carry the story through, and how the best sellers make it.

The Origins of Mother’s Day in the UK
Mother’s Day in the UK has its origins in the 16th century custom of ‘Mothering Sunday’, which fell on the fourth Sunday of Lent.

This year, Mother’s Day in the UK was celebrated on the 10th March. As with most of our celebrations, Mother’s Day can be traced back to Greek and Roman…
