She decides to create a Club of her own, the Can-Do Club, a place where everybody not only belongs, but also gets a voice and choices of their own. Now doesn't THAT have your heart doing cartwheels?

- Barbara, Corner on Character

<i>Turning Cartwheels</i> is a wonderful way of showing children alternative ways to solve problems.

A pleasantly illustrated, hard cover picture book to read with ages 6+.

School Days Magazine

This is an energetic story about choices and not staying in situations that don’t work for you.

Buzz Words

A story with a warm heart, with illustrations to make you giggle, with challenge, with friends and with an important message. Be yourself.

- Louise Ellis-Barrett, Armadillo Magazine

An excellent addition to your collection and lessons about what friendship and bullying is, taking the reader into the realm of how friendships change as children get older.

The Bottom Shelf

A sweet book with colourful and animated illustration about how exhausting it can be trying to fit in and the joy of being and individual.

- Dr Tanya McDonnaugh, founder, TMC Psychology writing for Motherdom

An empowering story about finding yourself and encouraging others to do the same.

Sunday Telegraph

<i>Turning Cartwheels</i> is an excellent book to read to school aged children to start a discussion on how to be more inclusive of everyone despite their differences in abilities.

Educate. Empower.

Turning Cartwheels tells the story of Emma’s desperation to join queen bee Carly’s Cartwheel Club, who show off their acrobatic tricks in the playground at lunchtime. Week after week Emma lines up for a try-out, only to be told by Carly that she hasn’t made the cut. When Emma is finally accepted, she finds that Carly’s rules and requirements take all the joy out of cartwheeling, and that being part of the gang isn’t as awesome as she expected.The book explores themes of determination, persistence and self-confidence, but has a central focus on bullying — in particular, the subtle, underhanded social bullying often experienced by primary school-aged girls. The character of Carly represents the ‘frenemy’ that many young girls encounter — a strong, popular girl who seems to be their friend, but whose behaviour is often actually manipulative and mean.While girls often gravitate towards ‘frenemies’, preferring to stay on their good side and remain part of their social group, Turning Cartwheels introduces the idea that there are alternatives, and that children should choose their friends based on kindness, and having fun together. A sensitive and compassionate guide to finding true friendship, this story will help any young person struggling to find friends who make them feel like they belong.

Emma is desperate to join Carly’s Cartwheel Club. But is being in Carly’s club as much fun as Emma thinks it will be? A clever exploration of the social bullying conducted by ‘frenemies’ that is so often experienced by primary school-aged girls.

Bullying is a significant problem in schools but books generally depict the more overt physical or verbal bullying. Turning Cartwheels looks at the subtler, more manipulative style of psychological bullying that is sadly all too common among primary school girls in particular.
