Bundle #2

Six picture books celebrating diversity and inclusion.

A Friend Like Simon

Simon has autism and sometimes acts a little differently to other children in the class. Matthew isn't sure if he wants a friend like Simon - but a school trip helps him to change his mind! This story encourages children to accept the differences of others and celebrates the importance of friendships.

Tom's Special Talent

Tom isn’t sure if he has any talent at all when he sees how good his friends are at reading and writing. But a school competition helps him to find his own very special talent! This book deals sensitively with Tom’s dyslexia and it explores the different ways that children can be creative and express themselves.

Going to Buy Clothes

This book has been specially created to support language development and the learning of day-to-day skills. The emphasis is empowerment, with the boy taking the lead - he chooses his own t-shirt and pays at the checkout. And it’s ideal for encouraging children to take the initiative and be independent.

The Cloud

This is a beautiful picture book, but there’s also a deeper meaning. We have no idea why the little girl has a black cloud above her. The story can be interpreted in different ways to suit the needs of families and teachers - for example dealing with loss and grief, with loneliness and feeling excluded.

The Elves and the Shoemaker

This book encourages children to think about others. The elves do a good deed without expecting any reward. It also reminds children to say thank you when someone is kind to them - the shoemaker and his wife make clothes for the elves to show their gratitude.

The Lost Stars

The stars have gone missing. Where have they gone?! This story takes children on an exciting journey during which they will gain a new appreciation of the natural world. It also deals with the notion that there are consequences to actions.
