Books for Inclusion

12/12/2014

I am grateful to my wife, Melanie, the library manager from Cams Hill School, Fareham, for this list of books for (largely secondary) children, to create the basis for discussion about inclusion issues. She has read them all!


Fiction books with an Inclusion theme, to stimulate discussion with and among children. Some books have an age suggestion.

Have you read Cowgirl by Giancarlo Gemin, published by Nosy Crow? In my mind it is a real tale about inclusion, understanding and reaching out. The characters are at the same time realistic, wacky and very touching .What I really enjoyed about it is that it brings generations and the neighbouring community together to work to a common goal: a cow problem to solve, by this transcending the fear of others and their differences. A lovely story with meaning!

Thanks to Darren for a link to a blog by Mia Wenjen, otherwise pragmaticmom, with a further list of books celebrating diversity.

Have a look at http://www.pragmaticmom.com/2014/12/25-diversity-authors-spotlighted/

There's a wealth of information on the blog, so worth a good look.

Look at the shelf for a broad range of titles.

Welcome to Saffron Stories

Saffron Stories has been setup by Chitra Soundar, Indian-born British author of over 20 books for children.

Saffron Stories would curate a list of children's books

Or set in South Asia
Or has characters of South Asian origin

South Asia includes the following countries
Afghanistan

From time to time, we would blog about new books being released, books published in South Asia that should not be missed and/or topics that are relevant.

This list is aimed at librarians, booksellers and teachers who are interested in bringing diverse reading to their classrooms / customers / readers.

We invite visitors to suggest books that we might have missed as long as it meets the criteria.

We would collect suggestions for other diverse reads periodically so if you have a book that you want to suggest, stay tuned for the various blog posts.

Keep reading!
