Up first, @Chris_Naylor_B’s ‘The Suitcase’. A poignant & emotional text which explores the refugee experience with younger readers. Sensitively drawn with trust & kindness at its heart. Perfect for KS1/Whole Sch, to show empathy & understanding should be for all.

@lovelymissf @johndsq @one_to_read I’ve only just started on my Macfarlane reading journey after The Lost Words and The Lost Spells. He did a read-a-long of The Living Mountain, which @johndsq mentions above. Meant to be a great read!

@one_to_read I would have to know why they defined as a non-reader to begin with. Sometimes it can be a delicate/sensitive issue.
There’s plenty of texts that might interest, engage or reignite the spark, but all about the connection first and foremost.

@one_to_read With a fair few friends having babies, I’m assuming they’re going to get a good amount of the ‘classics’ so I am always on the look out to introduce lesser known / more diverse texts to them.

@RogMcDonald @hebb_david @_MissieBee @MissStanleyYr6 @primaryteachew Great shout. Reminds me of this, Rog.
Shared by @EmilyEatsBooks or @charlotteraby at the Just Imagine meet-up a few winters ago (if my memory serves me) 🤔
@PaulWat5 @richreadalot @MrS_Primary @jonthelegend @jonnybid @RuddickRichard Yes. Got Raven and Beast Boy to go through over the weekend. Great storytelling by @kamigarcia and @_gabrielpicolo based on the Teen Titans.
@kashleyenglish Nicola Edwards and Luisa Uribe’s ‘What a Wonderful Word’ is great for engaging and learning new words from around the world. You can always have the image and the word isolated, to get children to work out what they think the definition might be. #UKLAchat
@MrBakerKS2 @OpenUni_RfP @ArticuLaight @lucasjmaxwell @silkjay @literacylala Other interesting biographical avenues to explore, with rich, well-researched texts.
@teacher_mr_r @KateHeap1 @Nicola_M_N_ @jonnybid @wishesandstars @MissS_Kimble @TsuiAllen @Misterbodd @MrHtheteacher @richreadalot @karen_wallee @BethRowe1 A few that I’m really looking forward to reading this year:
Missed it on original publication, however, ‘A Nest of Vipers’ by the superb @catwrote is being republished in August. Raymond and Polly’s Picturebook looks 👌🏼
