Testimonials

I must admit, I didn't really read a lot of parenting books. It can become a bit of a minefield but I saw this and it just resonated with me. It's practical ideas most of you may be doing without realising. It gives you the why behind things such as using Playdough in play or saying 'hello' at the playground. It's not a long read and you feel like you're talking to a friend.

This is a great book especially for those with little ones who have just started school or are starting next year.

This amazing book mamas, Before Big School. I’m not gonna be backwards about it, you need it in your life. It’s brilliant and it has become my new best friend to help arm me with the tools to help that transition by getting us ready for big school.

I’m an organisation person, I’m a simple tips mama, and I love having a practical approach and being hands on in this season we are entering.

I’m still not okay about my little man heading off into the big world but I can confidently say because of this beautiful book I feel prepared for the next part of his journey.

Emma, Wildwood Bohemian

Before Big School is the guide that every soon-to-be school parents/caregivers need to invest in. It encompasses everything that we, as Primary School teachers, reinforce every day to families, especially when they are entering the Primary School chapter for the first time. Danielle has done an incredible job capturing all of the important parts of the transition to ‘Big School’, and has presented this in a user-friendly, non-judgemental, informative way.

It is honestly everything teachers wish parents/caregivers knew about their children beginning school. It includes practical checklists and activities to not only support this transition to school, but also to identify school readiness. A truly beautiful book that will help so many families during one of the biggest milestones in their little ones lives.
