The children have been reading “Maya & Marley and the Great Big Tidy Up” by @LauraHAllain and illustrated by @Yabaewah. They talked about how they tidy up and look after the planet, just like Maya & Marley and their friends. “I tidy at Nursery. Stuff that is dirty on the floor”
“Mummy & daddy does recycling. They put the bottles & the ice-cream in the bin” “You put recycling in the bag. Then you got to wash your hands” “Mummy recycles the rubbish. She puts it outside” “Mummy & daddy put the glasses in the special bin. Plastic goes in a different bin”
And this final quote demonstrates how important it is for children to see themselves, and their world, reflected in books. A 2 year old pointed at the picture of Maya and Marley’s dad and said “That’s my daddy. My dad. Know my dad?”
