A very sweet, inclusive and empathetic picture book.
By the author and including the main character of the novel Wonder, this book is a perfect easy read for children. It encourages empathy and acceptance from the voice of a child who faces the actions of people who aren’t.
The narrative is written perfectly to make children consider how they act and how that makes others feel, simultaneously empowering all children to embrace their individuality.
An classroom staple.

A picture book that can be enjoyed by both younger children for its beautiful illustrations and funny ending, and older children for its deeper conversations about the universe, the stars, and the relationship between a child and their father.
The story is very simple and sweet, and might be a fun and easy read for children to take home and discuss with their carers or for independent reading.

A beautifully illustrated and colourful picture book about finding where you belong and living your true self.
The art is hypnotising and the story itself is very sweet and easy to understand.

Scientific and magical, this book is a perfect read to get children thinking big.
The book’s illustration style is unique and interesting, adding to the discovery that it takes you on.
The narrative itself would make a perfect discussion piece for science, art, pshe, geography and English.
A philosophical discussion could even be the aim of sharing this book as a story with a class.

Emotive and simplistic. Hopeful and terrifying.
I love the way this book allows children to find their own depth of thought to the story. The book has minimal words and the illustrations are heavily suggestive but not explicit of the truth of the characters fate. It is as perfectly correct of a child to be upset by an ending where Amina is carried off by the sea, or for her to be rescued and taken to the safety of a camp where there is no more war.
The subject is handled in an age appropriate way, whilst not losing any of the seriousness and emotion that is holds, and is also crafted that an adult could read this and be moved just as much as a child.

An absolutely beautiful little book.
The book I handwritten in the design of a scrapbook of a girl named Pippa. The story takes you on a journey of her days adventure across the farms and meadows of her countryside home and weaves in some of the authors favourite poems and small rhymes too.
I even spotted the folk song used in the stage adaptation of War Horse got a whole two page spread.
A little hard to follow and definitely one to read together or for older children, but beautifully made and creative nonetheless.

A wonderfully little scientific pop up book that teaches children about different woodland animals, their specific habitats, and how they work together as neighbours.
It brings the fun of a children pop up book, with its amazingly elaborate pop up homes, to learning and science.

Songs in the Shade of the Olive Tree: Lullabies and Nursery Rhymes from the Maghreb
Hafida Favret, Magdeleine Lerasle
A very interesting book of lullabied and nursery rhymes from the Maghreb.
Some in French and some in Arabic, the songs are translated to English, along with a CD of them being sung in their original language, and an explication of how the songs would be used.
Some are playground songs, others lullabies for babies. Some have English equivalents, some make absolutely no sense, even in their original language. But all show a glimpse of a different culture, and possibly a new language experience for children.
