Mushrooms Know: Wisdom from Our Friends the Fungi
by Kallie George & Sara Gillingham (illustrator)
The kingdom of fungi is just as important as flora and fauna but much less known, so this introduction for children to mushrooms is very welcome. It contains two stories in parallel. On the one hand it’s a scientific picture book teaching us about the importance of mushrooms in ecosystems. On the other, there are lessons we can learn from mushrooms, such as taking care of our neighbourhood and of ourselves, coping with challenges and staying connected. The eye-catching illustrations in vibrant colour are by an award-winning artist.

The Best New Books for 6-8 Year Olds, recommended by Our Children's Editor
The past year has been a particularly good year for chapter books for emerging readers. It can be hard to find good books for 5-8 year olds to read for pleasure (as opposed to learning to read), but this year has a great crop of entertaining easy reads. Our children’s editor, Tuva Kahrs, picks her favourites.
