"The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you'll go."
Dr Seuss

Good books for children will help them to understand, explore and become more familiar with the world around them. Good books can also transport children to worlds outside their near experience. They can fire imagination and emotion, excite and create wonder. And of course they must entertain, because if they don't they'll be quickly rejected.
The books we are recommending here are all inspirational in one way or another - encouraging children (and adults!) to be themselves, to embrace and look after the natural world, to be kind to those who are 'different', and to care for those who lead difficult lives. Some of them are classics, others are new, but they are all life-enhancing. Enjoy!

Something ElseA small creature does his best to join in with others, but struggles because he's different and doesn't belong. Then he meets Something, who wants to be friends, but Something isn't like him at all! A gentle story about tolerance and belonging.
