This week’s book recommendation for Our Younger Children comes from Mrs Hadfield and is called ‘Why is Nita Upside Down?’ by Roxana Bouwer

Mrs Hadfield writes:

This is a fantastic book as it is all about a little girl who feels like she is different and doesn’t quite fit in.

She then talks to one of her friends who helps her to realise that we are all different and that is what makes us special. I hope you enjoy the book as much as I did.
