School holidays are a time for fun! While lockdowns have meant we’ve had to adjust our plans just a *few* times, thankfully books are always there for us. Not sure what your primary school-aged bookworm might like next? We’ve got a few suggestions for the best kid’s books to read these school holidays!
The Heart Principle demonstrates the importance of learning to love, accept and be confident in who you are. The journey to self-acceptance is hardly ever an easy one. It is refreshing to read a book that wholeheartedly acknowledges this.
Waking Romeo was the time-travelling literary mash-up we didn’t know we were missing. Drawing on the classic literature of both Romeo and Juliet, and Wuthering Heights it’s a delight. Achingly sad at times, funny and with a deep heart, this is a wonderful read.
Grog War documents the saga of the Indigenous People’s human rights war on the effects of alcohol abuse. It challenges assumptions made about Indigenous self-determination and encourages the ongoing debate around alcohol restrictions. A must-read for all Australians.
In CSI Told You Lies Meshel Laurie unpacks the recollections of the hidden professionals who have worked on some of Australia’s most high profile and distressing cases with sensitivity, humility and sparkling humour.
Sally Thorne follows up her New York Times bestselling The Hating Game and 99 Percent Yours with Second First Impressions.
The award-winning The Complete Maus explores the generational impact of the holocaust in a unique format.
