I love this book!

It’s beautifully illustrated. The story is a perfect balance between creepy, true to life, and smart.
The characters are well rounded for the shortness of the graphic novel.

Possible one of my favourite graphic novels so far.

In short this is simply a child friendly comic based on DC Aquaman.

Although so of the content and themes were great to see and gave the fantasy world a wonderful atmosphere of relevancy, I found the plot line boring, cliché and too heavily focused on the romance element.

I was hoping for more and, although technically a sound story, it just didn't really leave me with any feeling at all.

The art style was classically superhero and gave me a sweet nostalgia which I did enjoy.

A wonderfully illustrated and emotional story that is easily followed and easy to empathise with.

A great way for children and adults alike to get a perspective into the truth of these situations.

Definitely a little heavy content for younger children. The main character is 12 so I would imagine around that age would be a good recommendation for an age limit. Although it comes down to how people feel about exposing children to hard truths of the world.

Such a wonderfully artistic, beautifully illustrated and emotional story for children. It’s both carefully written to get the seriousness and unsettling truth of the setting to hit home, but also uses the character of the dog and the interactivity of the letters to cater to a younger age.

It also helps with the immersive and creative activity side of learning the history of this story.

A wonderfully written story to help children relate to and learn about Amelia Earhart.
The story follows her over her life, nurturing her dreams and talents throughout constantly being told that what she hopes to do is impossible.

The book models resilience and the importance of hard work to achieve what might at first appear to people as impossible feats.

The story is written well, and caters to all children, not necessarily just girls, but does make a point of Amelia’s achievements being a significant leap for women.

The book also has plenty of extra resources and signposts to further learning at the end, which is perfect for teachers to consider.

An amazing book with simple positions explained using easy to understand and adaptable instructions. The book has useful tips for adults that explain the benefits of each pose, as well as ways to both make the poses easier or harder depending on children’s capabilities.

I will definitely be using this book for relaxation lessons in future, and maybe even some for myself at the gym!

A wonderful little book about from the ‘Little People, Big Dreams’ series.

An inspirational story of the Olympic athlete Wilma Rudolph, and her childhood battle to overcome her illnesses and achieve amazing things.

The book also touches on American segregation laws, but leaves space for further exploration of the subject, without assuming it is already known.

A great picture book that helps to talk about gender identity, gender roles, and gender stereotypes in childhood.

The book is aimed for 3-10 years olds especially, and is written in a simple, interactive way to start a conversation with children about their gender and how it feels to be you!

Simple and child-friendly, this picture book perfectly explains that refugees are the same as any child reading the book, and uses a perfect level of empathy and understanding to explain their situations.

The story uses real quotes from immigrant children at the end, as well as historical examples of famous refugees.

I enjoyed the range of detail in the illustrations of the characters, and the books availing to speak the heavy truth of these experiences and lives without being too much for children to fully process.

I’m always interested in books such as these for children.

I am a Vegetarian myself. I try my best to eat a Vegan diet as often as possible (I’m not great at asking other people to accommodate me and it’s still not a very common requirement), and I’ve met many children who either understand, or are curious about why.

This book is very clearly written by someone who is passionate about convincing others that Veganism (and Vegetarianism) is the right direction to go. I also think this, but my point is that you can easily tell. It is more of an answer to “why are you vegan?” rather than a story that allows children entirely free-thought.

It handles the heavy truth of our farming system and environmental impact well, with a clear message for children on morals and thinking about how your actions effect others. But I think it might be too heavy handed for say a Omni parent to deem appropriate, which I would need to consider as a teacher.
