I'm gradually adding books I've read in 2021 to give a true reflection of the books I've read since keeping records. This was the first book I read in 2021, and is what kick-started my reading journey having put reading on the back burner whilst bringing up the children, previously being an avid reader. A selection of stories about children taught by Kate in 30 years as a teacher. A conflicting read and at times condescending, and some of her views I felt are dated. I couldn't warm to the book or its writing style so I'm probably in a minority. A non fiction read.
