For schools and libraries
Stories your class will strive to read first.
The Golden Threads of Inspiration series brings African folklore into the classroom with themes that map naturally onto PSHE and social and emotional learning: identity, resilience, decision making, patience and gratitude, told through adventure rather than instruction.

I ordered it for our Year 4 classroom library and every child wanted it first. The themes of identity and belonging opened up discussions that lasted the whole week.Primary school teacher · Leeds
