Teresa E. Harris
Gabby turns to spoken-word poetry as a way to express herself while working to help save the community arts centre she loves.
Tasha Spillett
This is a gentle story about a child’s wish to wear a ribbon skirt and a grandmother’s loving response. It offers a family-centred way into conversations about self-expression, cultural belonging and openness to new experiences.
Hope Larson
This is a friendship-and-identity story in which a disrupted routine opens space for music, independence and new connections. Its interest lies less in high-stakes danger than in ordinary emotional change and finding a direction.
Rose Robbins
A gentle environmental story about a small, quiet character whose observations are initially overlooked. Whisper’s eventual advocacy involves friends, creativity and persuasion rather than simply becoming louder.
Mikołaj Pa
This is a lively shared-reading book centred on noticing who lives in a building, what each neighbour enjoys and how separate activities become a collective celebration.
Laura Wood
A lively school-election story about finding allies, challenging unfairness and turning strong feelings into action. Its campaign plot combines humour, friendship and political participation with a developing lesson about listening and working constructively with opponents.
Tahereh Mafi
A character-led YA novel about a Muslim teenager negotiating prejudice, family background, self-protection and first love in post-9/11 America. Music and breakdancing provide important ways for Shirin to cope and express herself.
Kenneth Grahame
Expect a gently comic adventure in which a boy, a dragon and St George confront expectations about what dragons and heroes should be. The story makes room for poetry, friendship and a staged solution rather than presenting fighting as the only answer.
Paul Fleischman, illustrated by Kevin Hawkes
This is an imaginative story about making a world that reflects one person’s ideas. Its main appeal is the inventive detail: Wesley turns a plant into resources, culture and communication, then sees others respond.
Jenny Downham and Louis Hill
A contemporary family story that brings mystery, romance and social pressures together. Its emotional centre is the siblings’ struggle with grief, secrecy, anxiety, poverty and the possibility of finding joy and support.
Carolyn Meyer
This is a school-community story about pupils who respond to a fundraising challenge by sharing personal heritage through a jointly made book. Its central interest is how a collaborative project may help students understand themselves and each other.
Chloe Taylor
A school-spirit story turns towards the consequences of a prank and repeated online nastiness, while Zoey’s friendships, creativity and blog become ways to consider responding to harm.
Micha Archer
A gentle introduction to poetry as observation, imagination and self-expression. Daniel’s encounters with park animals offer different ways of noticing the natural world before he shares a poem of his own.
