"Anyone working in Childcare knows it's hard to find time to read for your own pleasure. That's why I love this book, you can quickly dip in and out of it for daily inspiration."Jennie Johnson, Chief Executive, Kids Allowed, UK "This is a great easy read that initiates in-depth thought and meaningful group discussion or individual reflection."Nadia M. Ollivierre, Director, Early Learning Centre, Canada "This book inspires, motivates and reminds early childhood practitioners about what is essential, required and important for children in early childhood settings. In our daily programs we may forget to do everything, everyday but this book makes it easy for us to remind ourselves of it daily. Because it is put in a simple format of A to Z it also makes it effective for use and implementation. Teachers can put it as a chart or in their dairy and have their own A to Z. This broadens the impact and involvement of the teacher from class to community and from kids to parents and beyond. Another unique aspect is that the points are universally applicable so a teacher in any country or varied settings can still gain from the book. A must have for every teacher and early childhood practitioner."Swati Popat Vat, President Early Childhood Association, India "Brilliant idea, Brilliant 'pause and think about this' ideas for each letter of the alphabet.I think every setting needs a copy of this book so they can dip in and out of it. I think the book will never go out of date because each time an individual or a setting ponder on the comments for a particular letter of the alphabet they will reflect on the here and now - which will include any changes they made as a result of pondering about it previously"Penny Webb, Childminder, UK
