Well… “Evidence!” by Deborah Hopkinson and Nik Henderson is as brilliant as I hoped it would be. It follows Dr Jon Snow on a race against time to find the source of a cholera outbreak. Full of clues and deduction, it’s a great story about the importance of Science and Evidence . #PicturebookPage

I know lots of people use “Rose Blanche” when they study World Wars but here is a blog of other picturebooks I would use, all are true stories, wonderfully told and illustrated. They are powerful and moving and about the small actions that make a difference. smithsmm.wordpress.com/2023/12/29/u...

Have just finished rewriting the overview for a weekly picturebook assembly which focuses on equality, diversity and inclusion. It's still a work in progress but please feel free to use and adapt. All shares appreciated! The link is on my Padlet: padlet.com/Jon_Biddle/r...

Huge fan of #LauraCarlin so was very excited for her book tracing the history of London.

I wasn’t disappointed “London, A History” had Carlin’s stunning artwork paired with poems, quotes and historical accounts to tell the wonderful story of our capital. Amazing #PicturebookPage
