Books to help teach diversity to children in KS1 and KS2 in primary schools – with characters and settings to introduce age-appropriate discussions of the diversity of culture, race, ethnicity, gender, education, disability, identity, nationality, religion, sexuality, neurodiversity, social background, and beliefs.
Love Is All We Need sends a powerful and important message to the young reader. It’s a wonderfully vibrant and happy book that I recommend for children from nursery age and upwards.
