SEPTEMBER 2026
This month’s Book Club picks take us on three very different adventures - from making choices and imagining possibilities, to exploring feelings of loneliness and connection, and learning Māori vocabulary for vehicles.
You Choose
by Nick Sharratt & Pippa Goodhart
A fun, interactive book where children get to make the choices. From where they might live to what they might eat or wear, every page offers opportunities to explore new concepts & introduce new vocabulary.
Alone
by Scott Stuart
A gentle story using the solar system to illustrate how feeling completely alone in a new environment is something everyone experiences & sometimes it's hard to make friends. It opens up conversations about emotions and friendship.
Ngā Waka Aitua
by Sharon Holt
A fun way to learn Māori words for emergency vehicles, with familiar New Zealand settings and plenty of opportunities to make predictions about what might happen next. It also introduces conversations about what to do in an emergency.
