South Asian Heritage Month runs between July 18th and August 17th each year.  In the founders own words, South Asian Heritage Month ‘seeks to commemorate, mark and celebrate South Asian cultures, histories, and communities’.

We have gathered together a selection of books written or illustrated by creators of South Asian descent, many include South Asian characters too.  You will find picture and chapter books sharing fictional stories as well as non-fiction fact.  There’s even a bit of poetry and a graphic novel!

We know how important the sharing of stories that reflect the diverse world we live in is, so if any of these titles seem like they’d be a good addition to your school or classroom libraries please click on the image below to read the book’s description!
