'All Time Favourites' of 2022 - Part 1

A round up of the 37 books that made it onto my 'All Time Favourites' folder on Goodreads this year.

Of the 203 children's books I read this year, 37 stood out particularly. These are books that, whilst they don't have to be 5 star perfection, left a lasting impression on me.

These are all books that I would recommend to other educators. They are stories that would make me feel safe, seen or inspired if I saw them in a classroom or library, and they span across a number of genres and age ranges.
