Critics Review
Turning Cartwheels is a wonderful way of showing children alternative ways to solve problems.
“Turning Cartwheels is a wonderful way of showing children alternative ways to solve problems”
– Blue Wolf Reviews“Turning Cartwheels is an excellent book to read to school aged children to start a discussion on how to be more inclusive of everyone despite their differences in abilities.”
– Educate. Empower.“Turning Cartwheels is an excellent story for exploring the desire to belong and the subtle bulling and exclusion children can feel. I can envisage it being used to discuss how children treat one another in the playground.”
– Linda’s Book BagThis book, as you’ll have gathered, covers the issues of social bullying, peer pressure, manipulative behaviour, and what real friendship is (and is not).
It will be a great resource for both schools and homes, especially useful when discussing navigating the social terrain of school. It shows the value of resilience and emphasises that we can make our own personal decisions about how we act in society.
