Web Site: List of picturebooks relevant to all strands of the Learn Together

About this site / Ideas for this site

It’s great if class and school libraries include books reflecting the Learn Together. By doing so, many facets of identity are normalised. Some examples below:

Books with characters

• with different ethnicities
• coming from different types of families
• with LGBT identity
• who happen to have a disability
• who challenge gender stereotypes

Picturebooks can also be used at all levels to address challenging and / or controversial issues and foster critical-thinking.

Some books below which explore how picturebooks can be used.
