Pen&inc. is CILIP's magazine celebrating diversity in children's books. We want to help improve choice for readers and opportunities for authors, illustrators and publishers from all backgrounds and abilities. It's about highlighting
the positives and looking at how things can change for the better - and we want librarians, booksellers and schools to be at the heart of that change, alongside the publishing and bookselling industry.
Inside the latest issue of CILIP’s Pen&inc. magazine you can find interviews with Children’s Laureat Franl Cottrell-Boyce on health benefits and connections in early-years, Skandar author A.F. Steadman on reflecting reality in a fantasy world, Amara Sage on body positivity, Lucy Edwards on the power of stories for blind readers, and much more – including hundreds of inclusive titles in our listings to inspire your reading choices.
