About Story Space
A place for all to read, imagine, play and createExplore the growing Story Space book collection, celebrating books that centre children of colour, featuring books by black authors, indigenous authors and authors of colour from around the world.
Story Space also includes books by authors and about characters who have protected characteristics such as disability, sexual orientation and religion/ belief.
Read to yourself, to someone else, with each other, out loud.
Once you’ve discovered some new stories, tell your own story through our dress-up and drawing activities!
Looking for inspiration for stories of your own?
The Story Space collection consists of books that centre children of colour by black, indigenous authors/ illustrators and authors/ illustrators of colour from all over the world.
It also celebrates and centres books by authors with protected characteristics such as disability, sexual orientation and religion/ belief.
The Early Years and Families team started programming Story Space in 2017 (originally curated by artist and academic Jessie McLaughlin), when only 4% of children’s books published in the UK featured a character who was from a minority ethnic background.
This rose to 20% in 2021. The percentage of books published with a main character from minority ethnic backgrounds has risen year on year but remains low (9% in 2021), meaning that over a third of English primary school pupils still find it difficult to see themselves reflected in the books they read.
Take a look round the galleries and discover ideas for new characters and settings.
