For teachers & librarians
Made for home, loved in classrooms and libraries too.
The story works the same way in a reading circle as it does at bedtime. What changes is what happens afterwards.
Why it works in a group
A ten-minute read with somewhere to go afterwards.
Reads aloud in about ten minutes
Fifty-eight pages, short lines, and illustrations big enough to hold a circle's attention from a few feet away.
39 conversation starters
Printed in the back of every copy. Real questions with no right answers, which is what makes them work in a group.
Six characters, six answers
Each character shows love differently, so children with very different home lives all find themselves somewhere in the story.
Secular and inclusive
No religious content and no assumed family structure. Suitable for any public classroom or library collection.
A companion album
Eleven songs, free to stream, that follow the story. Useful for transitions, quiet time and the end of a session.
Journal pages
Space for a child to draw or write a response, which turns a read-aloud into an activity that leaves something behind.
Who uses these books
Parents, grandparents, teachers, librarians, schools and family programs all use Booyah books in their own way. The material was written for a grown-up and a child together, and it does not much mind which grown-up.
Copies are available through Amazon in the US, UK and Canada. For anything beyond a single copy, get in touch and we will answer directly.
