View this post on Instagram Hello: Counting Book of Kindnessesโ โ ๐ค๐ฝThis counting book by Hollis Kurman with illustrations by Barroux is a poignant book that centres on themes of migration, refugees and inclusivity.โ โ ๐ค๐ผWhile this is essentially a counting book, I found as I was reading this to my three year olds, they were naturally curious and empathic. โOh no, what happened to their house?โ, โWhy are they on a boat?โ which led to age appropriate discussions around how many people in the world have to leave their country. โ โ ๐ค๐ฟWith my older boys (aged 8 and 10) we delved deeper, finding out how many refugees there were in the world (a staggering statistic). We discussed ways to be kind to refugees who may be new at school or in the community. โ โ ๐ค๐ฝNot only is this beautifully illustrated, it educates children in a number of ways and is a great addition to an inclusive bookshelf.โ โ ๐ค๐ปThank you to @walkerbooksaus for our review copy.
