Story Corner – Books that help children cope

09/11/2019: How can books help us cope in trying times, particularly if you are a child? My Monster and Me by Nadiya Hussain is a beautiful picture book that tackles worry and anxiety, Jemima Small Vs. The Universe by Tamsin Winter explores body image and online bullying, and finally The Boy at the Back of the Class by Onjali Q Rauf navigates subject matter that even adults struggle to articulate. Reviewer Tamara Clarke, author of The Super Surfer which tackles the tricky subject of internet safety, and former school librarian and current Children’s Programme Advisor at the Emirates Literature Foundation Yvette Judge, share how books can help or hinder in difficult circumstances.
