Additional text

"I have not put the book down. It's a fresh, vibrant and on point contemporary read. Do I suggest you read it, YES! Will it support your practice, your pedagogy and question why we do what we do, ABSOLUTELY! I feel like I have connected much more with my own pedagogy and now it has linked to love, nurture and care."
- Aaron Bradbury, Early Years Educator
