Inclusive Children's Books, Posters and Resources

Children learn a lot from play, and in particular from stories. Complicated situations can be broken down into a similar story which they will understand, and will instinctively know to apply to their own particular situation. For this reason, books which tell stories about how some families are different, or some children are different, will help those involved to explain, and to understand, their lives.

Children whose parents have separated, or who have gay parents, or who have been adopted or are going to be placed in foster care are all catered for in the books below. So, too, are children whose siblings have disabilities, children who feel different to their friends, and children who have friends and family from many different cultures.

As well as helping children who are in these circumstances, these books will also assist other children to understand that people all over the world come in different colors and situations, and will help to develop in them an understanding and accepting nature which they can carry through to their adulthood.
