May Literature Review

Culture, heritage and legacy are words that may sometimes appear synonymous or, certainly, used within similar contexts but when we delve into the roots of these three words and explore meaning, we see that the meanings can be nuanced and many. A legacy is what we leave behind when we no longer walk the earth whereas, heritage is what we might gain from those who’ve gone before. But culture connects these two constructs. Because one's culture can be both heritage and a legacy. And what’s more, the events that happen over years, decades and even centuries shape and mould culture, often leaving a legacy. So many of the books we’ve selected for our Teach Through a Text approach at Literacy Tree explore these concepts, be they important gifts passed on as in The Sea Saw by Tom Percival; the exploration of heritage and ancestry in We Are Water Protectors by Carole Lindstrom; or the study of The Windrush Generation through Windrush Child by Benjamin Zephaniah. There are countless other books we’ve included in our offer that tell important stories and provide both windows and mirrors. And there are many brand-new books that explore similar themes, which is why this month’s review features a carefully curated selection of books by authors and illustrators as diverse as the plots and characters explored within.
