I know lots of people use “Rose Blanche” when they study World Wars but here is a blog of other picturebooks I would use, all are true stories, wonderfully told and illustrated. They are powerful and moving and about the small actions that make a difference. smithsmm.wordpress.com/2023/12/29/u...

About time I shared something educational. This is probably my favourite resource that I’ve made: weekly book talk questions that we discuss and write responses to. I put all their answers in a scrapbook afterwards📖
