The Suitcase, a brilliant picture book by Chris Naylor-Ballesteros, is a very special book. It makes pre-schoolers think about what you feel when you have to leave your familiar home. That you have to flee to a foreign country, where you don't know anyone with only a suitcase.

The way Chirs Naylor tells the story in a simple but compelling way makes it easy for us to talk about it with the monsters. The animals are very well drawn, the expression on their faces also tells the story. It makes what is happening here really clear to young children.

Because it is important to us that our little monsters grow up to be people with understanding, compassion and an open mind towards others, we like to read books to them like this beautiful picture book. Learned when young is done when old(er) and the world becomes a bit more beautiful because of it.
