As the world faces a future beyond the pandemic, many children will be trying to make sense of their place in it - where do they fit in? Do they matter? What sort of future do they have? Little Acorn is a short, inspiring story for children which uses the analogy of the acorn growing into a mighty oak tree to show the potential in all of us. Written for children aged between 3 and 9, this delightful little book is suitable both for parents or teachers to read to younger children, and for the young reader. Beautiful black and white illustrations accompany the story, inviting young readers to colour them in as they wish. The author has given permission to photocopy the illustrations.
