Reviews / Votes
...if you haven't come across the books, A Kid's Book About..., they're very clever. They basically distill quite complicated issues into very small amounts of text. And [...] leaves you that space for exploration and discussion. -- Patrice Lawrence, writer-in-residence * BookTrust *More details
