Has anyone got any recommendations for preschool picture books with culturally diverse characters?

[NannyR]

I'm looking for some books suitable for three/four year olds that have black and ethnic minority characters.
Some of our favourites at the moment are the Alfie books, Topsy and Tim, Mog books, Julia Donaldson, Hairy Maclary. I've realised that what is missing on our shelves are books a bit like Alfie or Topsy and Tim, where children are going about normal life and learning about new things, but with more diverse characters - our books are either animal based (like The Large Family, Peace at Last) or fantasy characters (like Winnie the Witch, the Gruffalo) or 2.4 children white families.
We have a few books like Handa's surprise, which are great but ideally I was looking for books and stories set in situations that are a bit closer to home.
I bought The Girls by Lauren Ace which we really enjoyed and is exactly the kind of thing I'm looking for but I wondered if anyone else had any other good suggestions or recommendations.
Thanks

Another vote for Full Full of love. I adore that book!

Compare and contrast with Judith Kerr - just down the road in Barnes, but never a single non-white character in any of her books,

... have you read her autobiography-"When Hitler Stole Pink Rabbit."

Nadia Shireen’s books are probably aimed a tiny bit older (sort of 4-7 I would say) but are good for this.
