In celebration of #worldbookday I’m going to be posting a thread of my favourite Children’s books that I’ve discovered through my own experiences growing up and through teaching!

Don’t Hug Doug (He doesn’t like it) by Carrie Finison

I love this fabulous book to support teaching about boundaries and consent as well as diversity and personal preferences! Classroom inclusion and being mindful of people’s needs and preferences
