HarperCollins Publishers My Name is Miya: Band 18/Pearl (Collins Big Cat)
Collins Big Cat supports every primary child on their reading journey from phonics to fluency. Top authors and illustrators have created fiction and non-fiction books that children love to read. Levelled for guided and independent reading, each book includes ideas to support reading. Teaching and assessment support and eBooks are also available. Miya is looking forward to the new year – she has great friends and exciting things planned … But things change both at home, where her beloved gran starts to lose her memory, and at school, when a new girl joins, which throws her into a whirlwind of uncertainty. Can her love for art, family and her friends help her? Pearl/Band 18 books offer fluent readers a complex, substantial text with challenging themes to facilitate sustained comprehension, bridging the gap between a reading programme and longer chapter books. Pages 78 and 79 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall. Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities. Mio loved writing 'My Name is Miya' as it weaves in many threads of her life, including Japanese culture and food, a biracial family (her children are half Japanese and English, like Miya!), best friends, and the things she learned whilst looking after her grandpa and her mother-in-law, who both had Alzheimer’s – which results in memory loss and confusion.

Pages 46 and 47 allow children to re-visit the content of the book, supporting comprehension skills, vocabulary development and recall. Ideas for reading in the back of the book provide practical support and stimulating activities. A note from Lisa Rajan: As a very shy child who struggled with self-confidence, I spent most of my childhood overthinking problems that didn’t exist! I wrote And Now Nobody Likes Me to hopefully show children how easily these things happen and how it’s important to recognise when your brain is running away with you and making you sad, worried or afraid. As a mum of three, I’ve seen the problems my own children have had with navigating friendships and keeping perspective, and although they are all much better at it than I was, I realised that we all need a bit of reassurance and empathy sometimes – and a few tools to help us back up the slippery slope!
