In the UK, fewer than 5% of children’s books feature main characters of colour and fewer than 2% of children's book creators are British authors of colour.

Lantana Publishing are working on changing that! And they sell e-books too!

My sticker shop would be one year old this month if I didn't had to close it because of pandemic, but that doesn't mean I can't do something for this occasion 😀 So I changed all designs into a sticker set for Signal!! You can find dowload link here:
