Meet Amber Class

Reviews / Votes

"This collection of three stories by Damali, an educational psychologist, are about Nzingha and her classmates, who enjoy being at school while learning about self confidence, friendship and leaning into their own unique talents." * The Bookseller * "Is there a young person in your life who has started at school, or will be soon? Perhaps they are curious about the next step & curious about who they will meet, what they will do in school & even what they will read...Meet Amber Class makes the perfect introduction to all of the above. A diverse, inclusive first chapter book sharing the stories of the children in Amber Class, all the things they love (& hate) & how to make the most of all their special qualities." * Armadillo Magazine * "Amber Class is full of big feelings and even bigger lessons. In three inter-connected stories, the children tackle self-confidence, teamwork and discovering their own strengths... A relatable and uplifting read for early readers." * School Reading List * "Meet Amber Class is, in many ways, less of a story book and more of an instruction manual for how to be a peaceful and successful primary school class... It is unusual for a book of this length to celebrate the magic of a primary school classroom in such an obvious manner, and young readers will love its familiar feel." * Books for Keeps * "This book is perfect for an early reader, or as a starter for a PSHE lesson at the beginning of the academic year for Year 1 or 2 class (aged 5-7). Every child is an individual, and classes are diverse in so many ways... The teacher role shines through giving the class the confidence to be who they want to be and to embrace differences - something that all class teachers want in their classroom." * English Association *
