The Star Outside My Window
by Onjali Q. Raúf
The star outside my window follows 2 siblings as they are put into foster care and become part of a new family. The children go on a big adventure with other children from their foster family to name a new star which they children believe is their mum. The story has lots of difficult themes including domestic violence, death and foster care which could be quite upsetting for some children. It would be important to consider the individuals in the class before using this book. If the book was used I would have PSHE lessons alongside covering the themes and would use the book with year 5 or 6 children.
The book could link well to a topic of space and would work well as a read aloud book. The adventure aspect of the story is likely to engage many children and make them want to read on.
