I Do? answers key behavioural concerns and encourages children to self-reflect, consider how their

young children, or to give to older children to read independently.
Written in a child-friendly tone with helpful notes for adults at the back, this picture book features 12
typical behaviours that children engage in – including not doing what they’re told, telling lies and giving
up – and explores where they come from and how to find new ways of expressing our feelings.

Covering everything from skin colour, clothes and body shapes, to interests, personalities and hobbies,
this delightfully illustrated book takes children through all the reasons we are unique and why this is
cause for celebration. This book includes thorough notes for parents and carers which offer advice on
tackling prejudice and broadening perspectives right from the start.

Carole Skinner and Judith Stevens
This book gets to the core of what underpins successful mathematical development in children
aged 3–7. It aims to demystify maths for non-specialists but also offer subject leaders and managers
