My favourite poetry book of 2021 is Being Me: Poems About Thoughts, Worries & Feelings , illustrated by Victoria Jane Wheeler. Mental health and emotions explored so empathetically through inspiring, inclusive poetry with real feeling.

My favourite picture book of 2021 is Can Bears Ski? . A sensitively-told story that shows what our world’s like before being diagnosed deaf, learning how to lip read & having hearing aids, with its incredible empathy in these experiences.
