Mem Fox
A gentle read-aloud about children whose lives may look different but who share feelings and everyday experiences. It pairs direct, simple wording with colourful paintings that invite children to look closely.
Kate Milner
A reflective picture book about leaving home and adjusting to an unfamiliar journey. Its mother’s reassuring voice offers steadiness, while the illustrations and repeated questions leave room to notice uncertainty, loss, hope and the child’s perspective.
Giselle Clarkson
A lively invitation to look closely at slugs, bees, spiders and other small creatures in familiar places. Its blend of humour, sketches, factual detail and observation activities makes ordinary surroundings feel worth investigating.
Maurice Sendak
A compact, imaginative fantasy about a child’s anger and imaginative escape. Max’s journey towards and away from the Wild Things gives the book energetic movement, while his return home brings the story back to family.
