Biographical note
John Foster taught English for 20 years before becoming a full-time writer. He has written over 100 books for classroom use and is a highly regarded children’s poet.<p>.'Major issues including drugs, relationships and discrimination are made easier and more meaningful to handle. Each charper is divided into smaller sections which are clearly labelled with the appropriate age, so teachers can use just the right level of material for the age of the children - this is a really useful feature and makes the book easy to use throughout the recommended age range, especially as many teachers are not specialists in the subject. PSHE is a vital subject and can have a huge impact on pupils' lives, so use this excellent book to help it to be a positive impact.' - <strong>Sarah Brew, <em>Parents in Touch</em></strong></p>
