Meet 12 wonderful kids as they explore 12 ‘tricky topics’ in the Little Big Chats series.
The Little BIG Chats series of 12 books has been written to assist parents, caregivers and educators in having open and age-appropriate conversations with early learners around crucial and, at times, ‘tough’ topics. And what better way than using children’s picture books! Some pages will have questions for children to interact with and discuss. Feel free to use these questions and the Discussion Questions provided on the inside back cover of each book to delve into the topic being explored. Stop at any time to unpack the text together; and try to follow the child’s lead to wherever that conversation may take you!
