Books of Belonging – Children’s books promoting inclusivity.
Perfect for teachers, parents and children alike, these books promote inclusion and diverse representation. Covering a range of topics, including long-term health conditions, the books aim to start a conversation between children, their peers and families around topics that aren’t spoken about enough.
The books are read across schools, libraries, community groups and more by the brilliant team at Happy Smiles Training. You can find out more about our Book Reading Sessions here.
