German review of Hallo! from Yanthara
“… also nice for older children, as the 10 kindnesses and the theme of escape also invite conversation.”
“… also nice for older children, as the 10 kindnesses and the theme of escape also invite conversation.”
“An empathetic, humane and kind antidote to xenophobic rhetoric.”
“Without lecturing or pointing fingers, and with very little text, Hollis Kurman describes how the family arrives in the new country and meets lovely people along the way.”
“So much scope for discussion in this story. The plight of this family is hard for very young children to grasp, but the opportunities to explore feelings around the subject are immense.”
Counting in Green and Hello! paperback both included in overview of best new additions to the Centre for Literacy in Primary Education library.
” A book filled with warmth, togetherness, connection and empathy.”
“Among other things, it shows us how grateful we should be for our lives, since we receive more than ten kindnesses every day. Absolutely recommended reading.”
“Being an anti-racist starts with listening to the experiences of others. Read books (…) and tell their stories to your child.”
“The children’s faces said it all. They were deep in thought as they listened carefully to every word.”
“(one) of the best books you can use to help children explore issues of war, conflict and migration in an appropriate and nuanced way.”
