Break the Mould with Sinéad Burke - teacher, activist, author and little person.
Sometimes we can feel like we are not good enough. That we don't belong. Or that we want to be more like our friends. In this empowering guide, Sinéad Burke draws on her own experiences and encourages young readers to believe in themselves, have pride in who they are and use their voice to make the world a fairer, more inclusive place.
From the power of being different, to celebrating the things you love about yourself and helping others do the same, this is a brilliantly inspirational handbook for breaking the mould and finding your place in the world.
'A very important book encouraging us all to celebrate the uniqueness and gift of our own and others' differences, while recognising all of that which we share in common.' - Michael D. Higgins, President of Ireland
What a fabulous book. Sinéad has the gift of talking to children without condescending to them, which is a very tricky balance to keep. She's also managed to address a subject that some people would find embarrassing or weird and kept it all very straight forward and simple.
The layout is great, with quotes, bubbles, lists and pictures of people Sinéad has found inspiring. It's really well laid out. The tone is great, chatty and friendly, with really clear suggestions for ways children can change things and and figure out what they are passionate about.
This is a great read for children of any age and a timely reminder that we can all accomplish greatness if we try!
