Community Champion – Emma
Welcome to the Ipswich Libraries Community Champions Virtual Story Time.
Join Emma, a teacher from Hymba Yumba Independent School as she shares My People written by Billie-Jean Taylor and illustrated by Shaylah Dodd. This book celebrates all the different people who make up our families and the roles they play. There is no one type of family; they are all unique. Who is in your family? Children will relate to the images drawn by the 5-year-old illustrator and the story in the child’s voice. They provide a good prompt for starting a conversation about different types of families and the roles of family members.
First 5 Forever is an initiative of the Queensland Government, coordinated by State Library of Queensland and delivered in partnership with local government.
