Sunny afternoon

Last Sunday was sat curled up in a chair with the sun streaming, reading graphic novels. I was particularly taken with these.

The true story of Omar Mohamed’s time in a refugee camp in Kenya, Victoria Jamieson’s beautiful illustrations work brilliantly to convey what he and his brother experienced, along with thousands of others.

When Stars Are Scattered by Victoria Jamieson and Omar Mohamed

This book is based on the juvenalia of the Brontes, focussing mainly on the world developed by Charlotte Bronte.

Glass Town by Isabel Greenberg

A fantastic children’s book about a boy of mixed heritage moving to private school where most of the teachers and students are white (and rich). This made me think about how I treat people and the ways I may accidentally discriminate against others.

New Kid by Jerry Craft

A book about the Polish Resistance during World War 2.

I Survived the Nazi Invasion, 1944 by Lauren Tarshis and Alvaro Sarraseca
