Carmen Saldaña Books

A lovely story to read at storytime, with delightful pictures that enhance the story and engage younger children. This is a really lovely, simple, warm book about what it feels like to be different or feel bullied. Through the story, Stanley is encouraged to talk to his dad, to express how he feels through art and not to want to be invisible.

Peggy is an apologetic pigeon. She always assumes she’s in the wrong. Even when she’s the one getting bullied. But Joan, an older female seagull, gives her the necessary skills to stand up for herself. This hilarious tale from award-winning author Wendy Meddour contains an important message about the importance of being assertive. Carmen Saldana’s illustrations are full of personality and humour.

Badgers are best. Or so Badger thinks. “If it’s not black and white then it’s just not right!” he says. But what if he’s wrong?

A book about acceptance, difference and learning to say sorry.
