Review by Debra Williams

Author Zanni Louise has produced a series for young children. This one, Integrity, looks at all the things a young person needs to learn to make good decisions. The brightly coloured illustrations are simple and set out, in a comic-style fashion, with examples of instances where integrity should come into play when interacting with others.

From The Publisher: ‘You have so many things to learn, like buttoning your pyjamas, the colours of the rainbow and playing hopscotch. Here’s another thing to add to your list: having integrity. It sounds important, doesn’t it? It helps us make good decisions, and making good decisions means we feel good about ourselves.’

From bestselling author Zanni Lousie comes a series to guide meaningful conversations between big and little humans about the things that count most.

A playful guidebook approach to nuanced topics, giving both kids and their grownups practical tools for negotiating how to be human. These handbooks centre on values that are explored in primary schools across the country.

Designed for children aged 4-8 years.
