Portraiture from painted likenesses to selfies

Joe Haddow’s nonfiction book traces the history of portraiture, pairing its development over time with a comparison to the modern selfie. The subject gives young readers a way to connect an established art form with a familiar kind of self-image. Published in the Collins Big Cat Sapphire/Band 16 range, it is designed as a longer read with more syntactically complex text. Pages 54–55 revisit the material to support comprehension, vocabulary and recall, while activities and reading ideas at the back extend engagement with the subject.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Children developing sustained reading and working with longer texts.
  • Young readers interested in portraits, art history and how selfies relate to older forms of self-image.
  • Adults supporting guided or independent reading, with comprehension and vocabulary activities.
