Abstract: This article explores spaces for transformation for teachers and learners using picture books, encouraging them to share their stories and have their voices heard through multiple forms of representation. We describe one teacher's journey with her secondary school students. Classroom data show how reading and creating picture books provoke holistic and comprehensive discussions about topics of societal and personal importance such as equity and inclusion. Benefits for students to create and share their stories include (a) participating in meaningful, inclusive, and socially just discussions that promote interconnectedness and diversity; and (b) becoming positive role models through interactions and relationships with younger students.
