Jeremy is starting a new school. He is a bit nervous and a lot worried but the children in this class are welcoming. Every time he thinks he can’t take part they say ‘Of course you can!’ and so he plays soccer, joins in the Kapa Haka and even takes part in the cross country … But when it comes to swimming the children tell him not to do it.

An intermediate school teacher, Karen says she loves the learning opportunities that teaching brings.

“Writer Karen Hinge’s dialogue and descriptions are spot-on. They hit the mark through restraint -- there’s so much that doesn’t need to be said – and gentle repetition. Nicky Sievert employs a range of equally understated illustration techniques and perspectives that move the story along with a good-natured ease... So, "How was the book?" you ask. “Awesome!” I say.”
