to live in. Discussion boxes offer an adult opportunities to
discuss the issues directly with their child audience. Charmingly
clear illustrations give readers immediate access to complex
situations and feelings and provide further stimulus for
discussion. Notes for teachers and parents, plus suggested further
resources, help adults to make the most of the learning

experienced children's book artist, this is part of an acclaimed
