School based stories for children and teens
School-based stories put familiar school life at the heart of the action, from friendships and tricky teachers to clubs, rivalries and classroom mishaps. Children often connect with them because the setting feels recognisable, even when the plot heads into mystery, fantasy or outright chaos. Along the way, these books can explore confidence, belonging, bullying and friendship, while quietly reminding children that many of their worries are shared by others. This list features books by Allan Ahlberg, Mo Willems, Lisa Thompson, Pamela Butchart, Matt Goodfellow, Onjali Rauf, Elle McNicoll, Faridah Àbíké-Íyímídé, Alice Oseman, and Holly Bourne.

Lulu’s First Day by Anna McQuinn, illustrated by Rosalind Beardshaw
3+ year olds can share Lulu’s excitement as she prepares to start pre-school and discovers what happens when she stays there without her family. The day soon fills with new experiences: she makes a friend, reads, plays, dresses up, builds and sings before Mummy returns to collect her. Anna McQuinn presents the separation and independence involved in starting pre-school without making them overwhelming, while Rosalind Beardshaw’s warm illustrations make the setting and activities easy for young children to recognise and discuss.
Starting School by Allan Ahlberg, illustrated by Janet Ahlberg
Allan and Janet Ahlberg’s enduring picture book follows a class of children through the unfamiliar experiences that come with beginning school. Rather than concentrating on a single nervous first morning, it shows how classroom routines, friendships and everyday school life gradually become familiar.

The Pigeon HAS to Go to School! by Mo Willems
The Pigeon cannot understand why anybody thinks he needs school.

Mo Willems uses the Pigeon’s familiar arguments, dramatic reactions and direct engagement with the audience to turn school nerves into comedy. This lively picture book for 3-7 year olds is especially effective for children who are apprehensive about starting school or nursery and enjoy having plenty to say back to the main character.
