Such a great choice. I love the scratchiness of the text. Think I saw one copy where it had been changed, typed. Completely different read.
Feel free to add and comment. I hope the discussion will grow overnight.

One of my most memorable read alouds in Y6 was based on and ’s ‘The Pond’. A powerful, empathetic and deeply affecting read. The children’s book talk included the themes of loss, family & the importance of the natural world.

My favourite picture book to teach in KS2 is The Journey by Francesca Sanna. It is such a poetic & accessible way in to so many conversations about moral, social & political issues. It also has a brilliant interplay between the words & pictures, so much detail

One of my recent favourites has been David Almond & Levi Pinfold’s ‘The Dam’. It’s a beautifully crafted picturebook with themes of loss, hope and the restorative power of music. Set in Kielder Water, Northumberland.
What are some of your favourites for 7-11?
