Our Picture Perfect Booklist is a collection of books that prove a picture really can be worth a thousand words! This specially curated list showcases highly illustrated books, graphic novels, and powerful visual storytelling that enhances the story being told. Whether you’re a comic book enthusiast or simply love books that bring stories to life with stunning imagery, this list is perfect for you. Dive in, turn the pages, and let the pictures speak for themselves.
Our librarian readers have shared three words to describe each book to help you decide if the book is for you. We would also love to hear what books you’d recommend for the list on social media using #booklist and tagging @readingagency.
Our themed booklists
The themed booklists are co-ordinated in-house by the Reading Partners team. The aim is to highlight a variety of titles which children, young people and adults will want to read themselves and to encourage reading for pleasure. We aim to create booklists that include titles that are written and illustrated by authentic voices and then include characters that reflect the diverse society of the UK. (Please note our monthly booklists are not part of our Book Selection Framework applied to programme content and our selection has been supported with readers).
