LoveReading4Kids Says

Renowned for her empathetic novels Raúf has created an easy to read, or dip into, non-fiction title for children to help them understand how, as individuals, we all can do small things that will make a positive difference in this world. Presented in a chatty, personal, and engaging way that invites the reader in and encourages thinking about personal actions.  The introduction and ‘Five Golden Rules’ set the scene for a book that allows for a great deal of personal evaluation as well the option to be the person you uniquely are. 

 

The chapters cover many aspects of these topics including the power of kindness and hope; fighting for the things that matter; the importance of friendship; and deflecting negative forces, amongst a wealth of other topics. Each chapter has an example of a famous person who exhibited the skill or trait discussed in the chapter, so it is easier for children to see how their actions might make them more like Malala, or Einstein, or Greta, or Adele or many others. The illustrations – all in greyscale are plentiful, fun, and informative in equal measure. 

 

The final chapter is an invitation to reflect – using the legend of Arthur as a stimulus for this – a wonderful conclusion to such a positive, humorous, heartfelt book.  I do hope this is bought for lots of schools and libraries as it offers so much in such an accessible way.  The many books mentioned along the way are all listed in a reading list at the end – and even includes a viewing list, too! The glossary and the links to charities and resources are all set out over several pages – an inclusion I always welcome in any book that is encouraging thought and action. 

 

Buy it – it will be so well used.
