PREVIEW: All You Need is Love: Shanni Collins

Local author Shanni Collins celebrates publication of her new and updated inclusive book for families at Waterstones in Brighton city centre on June 2.

Families come in different shapes and sizes, but they are all special when they love and respect each other.

These fun rhyming stories encourage inclusion and acceptance in a child’s relationships and are a celebration of the diversity of families.

By promoting diversity and understanding in family life and elsewhere, these stories support a positive approach to life at a young age, which fosters strong mental health and well-being.

Each page is dedicated to a different family, with stories exploring adoption, fostering, disability, race, gender and illness.

Filled with humour and delightfully illustrated, children will love reading this book again and again with friends, family and in school.

The illustrations in this new hardback book are a delight, colourful and engaging with a supporting article from a famous child physiologist about the important of inclusive and positive role models for our children, us and our future.

Collins’s Brighton launch is the next glorious rainbow step to provide young people with books which affirm their own lives and those of the people around them

Shanni, long time Brighton resident is next off to Hen Wlad Fy Nhadau, Cardiff in Wales to promote the book on the next leg of her national tour!

‘Corbyn For Prime Minister’ – Brighton Rally @ the Synergy Centre

Tonight, (June 6) sees the grand finale of Labour’s general election campaign with six outdoor rallies taking place all over the UK.

Emily Thornberry MP
Emily Thornberry MP

Rallies will take place in London, Birmingham, Glasgow, Barry, Warrington and here in Brighton. Each rally will include a senior Labour politician, a DJ, a musician, and a first-time voter.

Jeremy Corbyn MP the Labour leader will be speaking live at one of the rallies and his speech will be live-streamed to the others.

Here is Brighton, Shadow Foreign Secretary, Emily Thornberry MP will be joined by Brighton based DJ Enzo Siffredi and singer Robb Johnson to support the two local Labour Brighton candidates Solomon Curtis (Brighton Pavilion) and Lloyd Russell-Moyle (Brighton Kemptown and Peacehaven).

Labour have been steadily climbing the polls since the election was called, with the latest YouGov poll giving the Conservatives just a four point lead over Labour, which if played out on June 8 could mean the Conservatives may not win many more seats than they presently have.

The Brighton rally will take place at the Synergy Centre, 78 West St, 7 Middle St, Brighton BN1 2RA. Doors open at 6pm, entry is free, and the rally finishes at 9pm.
