Danny has turned six, and "Big School" is around the corner. It's a family tradition to go to Oak Primary. This feels daunting and scary and formal, and he is reluctant to leave the comforting, playful environment of Acorn Pre-Primary, his Kindergarten. But he soon learns that big school is lots of fun and that most learning still happens through play!
Danny was more than ready to tackle this new stage of education, after all.
"We, as adults, often become excited about new challenges and changes in the lives of our children. Occasionally we forget to put ourselves in their shoes and give them the opportunity and space to talk through all these changes. This book provides just that, an opportunity to read it, think about it, talk about it, process it and read it again and again. This is definitely one for any little person who is making the move to "Big School!"
Sharlene Groom, Head of Bishops Pre-primary School and moulder of many young people
