Picture books

[year1teacher]

I'm looking for recommendations for picture books that can be used to start discussions about more serious matters (death, racism, etc...)

Julián is a mermaid.
Julián at the wedding.
Lucy’s blue day.
The invisible string.
Mixed: a world about colour.
Shine.
The Steves.

Are just a few I would recommend.
A friend of my husband’s wrote Lucy’s blue day and his website is closing soon and he has a sale on 👍🏻

The Storm Whale
Grandad’s Island
Badger’s Parting Gift
Perfectly Norman
The Invisible

The littleliterarysociety on Instagram is brilliant for book recommendations.

The Smeds and the Smoos - racism
Lubna and pebble - refugees/displacement
Omar and the bees - friendship and immigration
Clem and Crab - the environment
The Invisible - poverty
The Christmas Eve tree - homelessness
