It’s not always easy to belong…

This vital new novel by the brilliant Tom Percival (creator of the popular Big Bright Feelings series) is a fantastic story allowing teachers to facilitate discussion around child poverty.

There’s a bunch of kids in there and suddenly they’re all looking at me like someone who can actually do something, not just some weirdo with the wrong shoes and a rubbish coat . . .

Will has the wrong shoes – he’s always known it but doesn’t know how to change it. Navigating the difficulties of home and school when you feel you stick out is tough, but finding confidence with the help and empathy of friends can be all you need to see the way.
