hi folks

free to release it as a press release 2) for sending as a letter to the
Guardian.

illustrator or editor of children's books, asking them to send it back to
me? If the people you know haven't got email could you please read it out to
them over the phone and then send their names back to me?

> We are children's writers, illustrators and editors who oppose a war on
Iraq. As people whose professional lives are concerned with the well-being
of children, we are appalled by the possibility that thousands of children
and their carers would be killed or maimed by a war. We are also concerned
that the billions of pounds that our government are already spending is
money that could be spent on the education and care of the next generation
of people to live on this earth.
