"I think what really marks this book out is the diverse mix of voices. There are stories from male and female perspectives, experiences shared by children and adults, and voices which originate beyond the UK ... The stories are authentic and carefully researched ... This is an incredibly compelling and insightful book and would be a very valuable addition to any upper Key Stage 2 classroom. Get Kids Into Books
