The Smallest Girl in the Class

Description

An inspiring and empowering rhyming story that's a joy to read aloud, all about the power of children to change the world. Sally McBrass is the smallest girl in the youngest class - but Sally knows you don't have to be big to be strong. From kites stuck up trees to howling dogs to stray cats in the car park, little Sally notices things that others don't, and when she sees people being mean at school, she is brave enough to speak up. The Smallest Girl in the Class by Justin Roberts and Christian Robinson is a moving and gorgeously illustrated story about bravery and changing the world for the better. The perfect book to build empathy and start discussions about kindness with young children.
