There are ideas for:"Careful layout, a useful resource list and clear thinking should recommend this book to any infant or first school planning its citizenship curriculum" (Times Educational Supplement)
"This is a wonderful and inspiring book. Written for educators of 3 to 7 year olds, it explores what kinds of skills, awareness and experiences children need, to be able to participate actively in the world. It contains short articles on themes such as: self-esteem, spiritual education, conflict resolution, changing school culture and exploring the wider world. These bring together practical ideas and resources and some serious thinking about the kinds of foundations we might want to lay for our children. It was a book that set my mind racing. I wanted to argue with parts and cheer at others. The style of writing is warm and friendly. It is a book to read from cover to cover and dip into; a book to spark off ideas and keep returning to. A good read for every staff room, parent's rooms, headteacher's bookshelf and governing body." (Teacher review from www.globaldimension.org.uk)
