Childrenโs books about big feelings, different brains & brilliant friendships ๐ฆ๐ฆ๐๐ข | Kind, inclusive stories for little readers | On Amazon Kindle ๐
Which Huey & Friends character sounds most like your little reader? ๐
Huey: a big thinker โ๏ธ
Maya: full of energy โก
Ollie: loves quieter moments ๐ฆ
Theo: takes his time ๐ข
Who would they pick?
Different brains. Best friends. ๐
That's the message behind our stories: children don't have to think, feel or play in the same way to belong.
Every child deserves to see themselves celebrated in books.

A familiar blanket can mean the world to a child. ๐

Storytime doesn't have to look the same in every home. ๐
Listening while drawing, holding a favourite blanket or taking little breaks still counts.
What does storytime look like in your house?
The clocks have gone back today in the UK. โฐ
For some children, even a small routine change can feel big.
A heads-up and a little patience can help.
Does your family keep the same bedtime routine on clock-change day?
@Elem_Librarian Cooking stories are such a good invitation to talk about family traditions. A lovely follow-up question is โWhat food would you put in a story about your home?โ โ thereโs room for everyone to bring something different.
@St_Denis_PS@garycondie67@OurVoiceGSF Children recommending the books themselves is a lovely touch. Did any of their choices spark a particularly interesting discussion about fairness or being heard?
@liss_shrugged@WifeMamaHome Shirley Hughes is such a lovely suggestion. Those ordinary little moments can feel enormous to a small child, and her illustrations give you so much to notice together.
@usautism Children deserve to have their ideas listened to however they communicate. Giving someone time and taking their communication seriously can change the whole conversation.
@CareSolace24_7 โIsnโt a lack of effortโ is such an important starting point. A movement break shouldnโt be something a child has to earn after sitting still long enough.
@thebookseller Lovely to see the people building a love of reading getting recognition. So much of that work happens in small everyday moments: a good recommendation, time to browse, someone listening to a child talk about a book.
@CultFooty Starting with something children already love makes so much sense. A familiar mascot could be the thing that makes a book feel like it belongs to them. Lovely to see a local connection too.
@EgremontY3and4@EgremontPrimary What a lovely way to start the day ๐ Do the children tend to stick with a favourite author, or are they enjoying swapping recommendations with each other?
@BrockworthNews@LiftSchools@RobHughesHT@vianclark The leap from enjoying a silly poem to making up your own is brilliant ๐ Did any of the children come up with a rhyme that had the whole class laughing?
@PNWNY Sometimes a happy Halloween is ten minutes in a comfy outfit and then home for a familiar story ๐ Itโs reassuring for families to hear that a shorter celebration still counts.
@PHealthySchools Choosing the book themselves is such a big part of reading for fun. Comics, a well-loved reread, a book about their current obsession โ it all gives children a reason to come back for more.
@GrandLakeChurch Lovely to see a quieter session included ๐ Knowing what to expect before arriving can make such a difference. Are families able to see any photos of the space beforehand?
