Hi. I am a retired high school Maths teacher from Australia. I learned
many things as a teacher, but the most important were to never
underestimate a child's ability to learn, and to always engage with humour
and enthusiasm. This book attempts to introduce and to raise the child's
awareness of the wider world outside the family home. This world is full
of differences and also similarities. It is full of excitement and wonder and
adventure. The book explores values of family, friendship, engagement
and activity. Concepts of science, history, maths and the environment are
introduced. The book is relentlessly positive and affirming. Oh, and do not
forget to count the bubbles.
