It is very important that this book is available to contemporary teachers, practitioners and parents. The book sparkles with energy and imagination. A gift to us all as we work against cuts and a lack of resources. It is a sustainable book and a beam of light in our practice.

Prof.Dr Sue Jennings, Distinguished Scholar University of the Witwatersrand
