It's time for our Creative of The Month, where we celebrate and platform Penguin Cover Design Award alumni! 🎨 This month we're celebrating Yuxuan Zhou, who was shortlisted in the 2024 Cover Design Award Children’s category, where she redesigned the cover of ‘City of Stolen Magic', by Nazneen Ahmed Pathak. Yuxuan is a London-based illustrator and researcher 🖌️ ‘My academic background in semiotics inspires me to explore drawing as a unique language, while the versatile styles I developed are various tones to speak with at different occasions. I carefully pitch my styles to work with picture books, comics, zines, editorial and fashion illustrations projects. I love playing with various drawing mediums and have created a series of sand drawings! I also love observing people and the world around me, capturing their essence swiftly and intuitively. These life drawings and visual journals help me build up a personal resource bank for future projects.' You can see more of Yuxuan’s work here >> www.yuxuan-zhou.com & follow her on Instagram here >> https://lnkd.in/eg3B_f_i or on LinkedIn here>> https://lnkd.in/ehkBPhf7 #illustration #creative #art #design #illustrator #creativity #bookdesign #coverdesign #illustrationart #PenguinBooks

We are pleased to see our #LitInColour research cited in the interim Curriculum & Assessment Review report, released yesterday by the Government’s independent panel 🙌 Pupils themselves who contributed to the review voiced similar challenges to what we’ve learned through Lit in Colour: that it is disempowering and demotivating when they cannot see themselves reflected in the material they study 📚 It is positive to see the panel acknowledge that the curriculum needs to go further to ensure all young people feel represented and that by ensuring a diverse range of perspectives are reflected in texts that are taught, student engagement and positive outcomes such as empathy can increase 👏 ⬆️ As we look to the full report and recommendations, due in Autumn, we are hopeful that this may include practical commitments that will create an inclusive curriculum for all.

Could listening to audiobooks and podcasts help #GrowAGenerationOfReaders? 📚 With reading for pleasure at an all-time low among children and young people, the National Literacy Trust's latest research shows that audio could provide a gateway to reading for many children – particularly those disproportionately impacted by the reading for pleasure crisis, such as boys. 🎧 Audiobooks and podcasts are helping young people escape, imagine and connect like never before. More than 2 in 5 children and young people said they listened to audio at least once a week in 2024, and 1 in 4 said they listened with their family, suggesting that it can be a social experience. Learn more about this new, vital research >> https://lnkd.in/dE47uH5Z #books #book #reading #reader #audiobook #audiobooks #ReadingForPleasure #publishing #literacy #PenguinBooks
