Jacqueline Wilson is an author that I've come to appreciate more and more as I grow older. She writes kids in such a believeable way and she handles serious topics such as child abuse and death in a way that's understandable for children while not talking down on them. Her books were so special to me as a child and I hope kids will continue to find solace in her books as I did ❤
Oh my god, she is my favorite writer. I read many of her books in 2008-2013, even though the book is translated to Indonesian. She literally shaped my childhood. And Nick Sharrat's illustration is very nostalgic.
I can still vividly remember the character's from The bed and breakfast star. I always loved the relatable family dynamics in Jacqueline's book.
It’s such a privilege to listen to the legend Jacqueline speak about her craft, inspiration and routine. This interview has really motivated me! 😊
Nostalgia evokes some funny feelings for me. As someone who had a relatively privileged childhood up till a point then was very suddenly thrown into the care system I found comfort in Wilsons books particularly the Tracy Beaker ones ... those stories transgressed the stages of my childhood and any time I opened a book I remembered reading tucked up with my mum, I was back home again. With both the bad and the good. I guess thats life!
a living legend right there.
was never big into her stuff as a kid but my appreciation increased as i matured.
Jacqueline Wilson is an absolute legend! Her work was so influential to me in my childhood
Her dress is incredible
Jacqueline was my childhood hero!! Such an insightful interview
Much appreciated dear Jacqueline Wilson.
i discovered her books in a local library as a kid and enjoyed every moment of reading her stories
What a lovely and informative video. Such a treat to learn from my favourite childhood author. Thank you, Jacqueline and Penguin!
I love too hear her speak of her books, she write these modern novels and they are wonderful. She's wunn of my only heroines left.
My favouriteee❤
Why wasn't it published properly.
I love this
I still read them
I wish all publishers would publish these books, or in fact all books properly. I don't see how it is right too leave a gargantuan gap between the lines. I am not stating an opinion. I hate seeing books of wonderful authors being published in this awful manner. I do sometimes get on my typewriter and write them out, trying too print these books properly like that, it is more of a pastime than a profession. There only be a very small gap between the lines. It seems too me that they are just doing this too a book just too jut out the book, in other words making the book larger in a rather parochial way.
