All Our Stories! is a free downloadable guide to using the resources on the Discovering Children’s Books website in order to develop a rich primary reading curriculum that celebrates ethnic diversity.

The guide highlights four themes: Home and belonging; Journeys; Fairy tales and folk tales; and Poetry. Within each theme there is a range of content that teachers can use in the classroom:

• Go Deeper articles written by authors, illustrators and other children’s book experts that explore the theme in more detail.
• Booklists of recommended titles to expand teachers’ repertoire of teaching texts. On the website, each book also comes with links to supplementary material, such as images from the text, information about the author, or pictures of early drafts.
• Activities that encourage children to celebrate their lives and the lives of their communities.
• Access to interviews with top authors and illustrators, as well as video masterclasses to inspire children’s own creativity.

Cost: Free, but please read the Access and Reuse Guidance Notes provided on the website.
