Teacher, BBC Bitesize presenter and TikTok star Kit Brown shares his top tips on how to shine at primary school in this sensitive and inspiring non-fiction book.

Spanning a range of subjects including motivation, goal setting, support networks, and finding one’s voice, Kit demonstrates his in-depth knowledge of primary school life and achieves a relatable and reassuring tone, no doubt aided by his own experience as a teacher. 

The information presented in this book is well-pitched and engaging. Interactive elements, thought exercises, top tips and illustrations are dispersed throughout to break up the text which keeps the book flowing at a good pace. The activities themselves are well thought out and could easily be used in class as part of a PSHE sequence. 

This book is full of enthusiasm and encouragement, but arguably its major strength is in its practical applications. Rather than just effusing on the power of a positive mindset, it provides children with real, relatable situations and step-by-step guidance on how to deal with them.
