 Title: The Wonderful Things You Will Be
By: Emily Winfield Martin
Ages: 3-7
"This book is beautiful and has a wonderful rhyme that expresses the thoughts and feelings parents have when they think of their child. [...] This book is ideal for story time as it creates a calm and relaxing atmosphere and sends a message that every child has its shine and that are they special. A comfort zone is built between the child and school environment which is important for the child. The colourful pictures with calm colours allow children to visualise the story clearly and understand the feelings that the book may aim to portray." - Reviewer
