Normally around November time I upload a seasonal tale usually with a wintry/Christmassy theme, this is similar but with a twist - the big day in *this* book is Diwali!Without giving too much away Asha, our protagonists, has her world turned upside down and decides she needs to take her fate and ultimately her family's fate into her own hands, She embarks on an adventure but is sure someone - or maybe something - is watching over her. A great descriptive read, weaving real life with spirituality as

Coming To England

The last of my summer reads comes from a stalwart to children's television - Floella Benjamin. This book, recounting her journey from the Caribbean to the UK, mirrors the story told by many of the Windrush generation, but could be the basis of any immigration/emigration story. Although the tale does not shy away from some of the difficulties and sadness, this story is overwhelmingly positive and definitely seen through the eyes of a child. Please go and find this book in your local library or

"When I Was a Child" brings together two mega talents in children's books - Andy Stanton, the bestselling author of Mr Gum, and David Litchfield, the award-winning creator of The Bear and The Piano. The simple message of the books is that one is never too old to continue seeing the magic in the world and that children are the best people to remind grown-ups that magic really does exist everywhere you look. In this case through the eyes of a grandchild/grandparent relationship. Talking to elders and

Imaginary Fred

2022/08/21

Today's book comes from one of my favourite authors, Oliver Jeffers - but this time he has teamed up with writing goliath Eoin Culfer to create "Imaginary Fred" Fred is a professional imaginary friend. He's easygoing and always happy to be summoned. He's adaptable, friendly and willing. The perfect imaginary friend, really. Overall, Fred likes his job but when his kids end up finding real life friends, Fred's role as an imaginary friend is over--and he gradually fades away. Although great as a read

Me and my fear by Francesca Sanna

2022/08/03

This story, although with a slightly negative title, is beautiful tale of conquering fears and spreading empathy. Written by award-winning author and illustrator Francesca Sanna, who many of you may know from writing "The Journey" this has a similar set up but is about something we can all empathise with When a young girl travels to a new country and starts a new school, her Fear tells her to be alone and afraid. How can she hope to make friends if she doesn't understand their language? This book
