Cover story
On the front of BfK this month is the cover of Yesterday by Adèle Geras. The artwork is by Carolyn Piggford. This book is one from the 'Teenage Memoirs' series published by Walker (see the article, All Their Yesterdays, in this issue) and Adèle, of course, is the subject of our Authorgraph - see centre-spread. Our thanks to Walker Books for their help in using this illustration.

The Much Better Story Book
A wonderful dip-in collection of stories and poems from professional writers and illustrators, workshops and competitions through the Westminster Children's Hospital School. When you read about the circumstances under which the children write, then the amazingly talented results are simultaneously heart-rending and uplifting. I particularly enjoyed 'The sun will chase your blues away' and the resoundingly rhythmic 'The bug poem', but my all-time favourite is ... 'I had ...', a 30-word disaster from Anthony Browne! With every copy contributing to Westminster Hospital School funds, this is a marvellous venture.
