Starting a new school year can be an exciting time for primary-aged children. There will often be a new teacher, a new classroom and a new timetable for children to get used to, as well as all of the new learning to be done! Understandably, all of these changes can also cause anxiety, worries and nerves for some children. At Literacy Tree, we believe that children’s books can be a fantastic tool for preparing for such changes. In this booklist, we have chosen to share some of our favourite books that explore themes related to starting the new school year or starting at a new school.

Change is afoot with children (and teachers!) heading back to school. there’ll be excitement for some; nerves for others. Some children will take the new school year as an opportunity for a fresh start; others will seek comfort in being in a place where they feel at home and others still, will really struggle with the transition. But whatever a child’s circumstances, a big dollop of courage will be needed. It takes courage to… living your truth …and the power of nature to offer hope, healing and humour! So for all our brave children as they face change head-on, here are some inspirational reads.

Torla & Smorla and the lower than average cloud

A short giraffe guides his taller friend on their walk when his head gets stuck in a cloud, obscuring his vision.
Gordon the meanest goose on Earth

A tale of redemption, featuring a once spiteful goose who discovers that offering an apology can be the most courageous act of all.
Turtle Moon

Silver Trevelon's parents aren't happy. They haven't been happy since the nursery they decorated started gathering cobwebs, waiting for the baby brother or sister that never came.
Becoming brave

The autobiographical story of a young woman who started a musical charity in memory of her deceased husband.
