"I know he's a young child, but Tommy is suitable for the children I teach too because everyone has to find a way to cope with things."

Literacy co-ordinator/ Year 3/4 teacher, Ilam C of E Primary School, Staffordshire. (Oct 2014)

"The building of self-esteem and confidence through fantasy and imagination is very powerful. It makes me contemplate afresh the importance of story."

Participant in P4C Development Group, DECSY, Sheffield. (Oct 2014)

"Children are complex – they can be scared and bold at the same time. Tommy’s small steps lead to unlimited possibilities. It shows how different things look from a child’s, compared with an adult’s eyes."

Participant in P4C Development Group, DECSY, Sheffield. (Oct 2014)

"So many themes in this book: Growing up; fear; aspirations; imagination; power of narrative; family; a child’s point of view; putting a brave face on things."

Participant in P4C Development Group, DECSY, Sheffield. (Oct 2014)
