Children and adults alike will identify with Nigel and his story * Books for Keeps *
As Nigel manages to find his own path, the final spreads are a gorgeous confirmation of his individuality and self-awareness; look out for the home made certificates and cups on the end pages, too, which are a lovely touch.This is a gorgeous picture book with an important message for us all * ReadingZone *
