Product description
In a tone that’s engaging and playful, we’re shown how books help us to grow, why we cry about the fate of certain characters and how to read for genuine pleasure rather than to please a teacher or parent. Along the way, we learn about the history of literature and about some of the many fascinating books from around the world we might enjoy.
Clothbound hardback book with illustrations by Anna Doherty | 168pp | 246 x 180mm | Ideal for Ages 9+
Always, the underlying concern is to foster a love of reading, while appreciating that this might require us to first bluntly question why we should even bother. Big Ideas from Literature helps us with the greatest challenge we can ever have around books: how to make them into our true friends.
Books can be so powerful, helping us through tricky times, offering us wisdom and showing us that there are people like us. Inspired by our book Big Ideas from Literature, we’ve created a creative writing pack which is designed to engage children and ask them to reflect on the ideas posed by the book, developing their writing skills and fostering empathy and resilience.
