As Jacqueline Wilson is trending, I just thought I would share my opinion. When I was younger, I would read these books over and over again. I still remember the messages and stories that opened up a whole new world for me. One of empathy, understanding and love. THREAD.
... The Suitcase Kid showed me that you can have a normal life with parents that are separated. This is a book I would read over and over again. Such a beautifully thought out book. I never felt alone...
... Dustin Baby opened my eyes to how cruel the world can be. April (the main character) is dumped in a dustbin when she is only a few minutes old and follows the story of her life. When I was younger, I had no idea how cruel the world could be, and how the themes throughout...
...this book happen in real life. Not all children are fortunate enough to feel wanted by their biological parents. This book made me want to explore issues such as bullying, death and behavioural issues. I didnât know then, but it shaped me to still care about this issues now...
... Vicky Angel. What an emotional rollercoaster. This book is about Jade who loses her best friend Vicky. This is a child whoâs best friend has died. This book shocked me, and I remember crying whilst reading it. It explores issues such as death, suicide and counselling...
... this book is something that without reading I couldnât comprehend losing a best friend. Jade eventually seeks counselling, and JW shows how even a horrendous situation such as this can be âovercomeâ. Counselling is available, and life will go on even if it is hard...

... I understand how important it is to be kind, caring and empathetic to others. I remember always waiting for the next book to be realised, begging my Mum to take me to the shops to get the next book. I remember researching her and knowing she wears rings on every finger and...
...that she worked for Jackie magazine and has a daughter named Emma. Jacqueline Wilson made me WANT to read, she made me WANT to explore these issues and I believe she made me KINDER. Thank you Jacqueline Wilson...
... as a primary teacher now, I will always make sure my class is full of your books. I hope the children I teach read your books and gain a love for reading like I did, and understand that every person has a story to tell. Your overall message, always be KIND. 
These are only FOUR of my favourites when I was growing up, I know there is loads more that explore similar issues children may face in todayâs world
