Book Review: A School Girl's Hero
This is the story of a school girl who has to write an essay about her hero – any guesses for who she chooses?!
“For a couple of days the same question continued puzzling Anum; “Who do I aspire to be like?” Then, whilst she was busy helping her mum with chores it suddenly came to her.

A wonderful read aloud with younger children, or for the older ones to devour on their own!
