The Best You Instead of asking children only what job they want to do, The Best You asks who they want to become. Through upbeat text and inclusive illustrations, it connects familiar roles with qualities such as bravery, fairness, creativity, kindness, strength, passion and determination.
What it explores: Positive character, self-belief, values, emotional development, inclusion and the idea that children already carry the qualities they need to grow.
