I'm Going To Be A Big Brother (Paperback): Nicolette McFadyen I'm Going To Be A Big Brother (Paperback)
Nicolette McFadyen; Illustrated by Natalie Whitehead, Keda Gomes
R180 R141 Discovery Miles 1 410 Save R39 (22%) Ships in 5 - 10 working days

Using the colours of the rainbow to beautifully illustrate different emotions, I’m going to be a BIG BROTHER, helps children understand the range of emotions they may feel when experiencing change to their family unit.

With brilliant rhythmic verse, fun, bright and distinctive illustrations - this is a firm favourite with children and parents alike!

  • Psychologists recommend that the best way to introduce a new baby to an older sibling is by giving your older child a gift that’s from the baby such as a book or T-shirt that says big brother or big sister. So this is the perfect gift for parents to give to their children or family members/friends to bestow on them.
  • This book taps into the psychological importance of children naming feelings as the first step in helping them learn to identify them. It allows parents to discuss their children’s feelings with them in a fun and colourful way.
  • This book allows children to develop an emotional vocabulary so they can talk about their feelings & develop into mentally strong children. Children who understand and are able to verbalise their emotions and have the coping skills to deal with them will build the confidence that they can handle whatever life throws their way.
  • In this book, the colours of the rainbow are used as a clever reference for children to identify their emotions with colours. Colour is important in reflecting and emphasizing the particular emotional states of a child as there is a colour feeling connection in preschool aged children.

Then Lennon arrives, Mum's new boyfriend. He's nice. He treats her mum well, buys her flowers, doesn't let her down. He's the first person to have noticed that Jelly is playing a part. He reads her poems and tells her they're really good. In fact, he'd like to set one to music.

“What if I don’t want to marry?” Lillian held her breath. She had never said the words out loud.

“Not want to marry?” Her aunt frowned. “What else would you do?”

Inspired by and written in consultation with young Ugandan women, and addressing the difficult subject of FGM, I Am Change is the tragic but empowering story of how a young girl finds her voice and the strength to fight for change.
