During December we will be sharing the lesson plans published by Highland Council’s Equalities Improvement Group and LGBTI+ sub-group to support the development of Equality and Diversity across the curriculum. 18 picture books have been selected; for each picture book there have been lessons created for Early – Fourth Levels (Curriculum for Excellence) driven by the Literacy and English and Health and Wellbeing Experiences and Outcomes.

Today’s Lesson: ‘The Great Big Book of Families’ – Mary Hoffman and Ros Asquith

This fun and fascinating treasury features all kinds of families and their lives together. Each page showcases one aspect of home life – from houses and holidays, to schools and pets, to feelings and family trees.

‘The Great Big Book of Families’ is a brilliant text which can be used to support practitioners in exploring family diversity and celebrating that families are all different.
