What did the judges think?

Judge and presenter Chantelle Lindsay said: “This is the kind of book I wish I’d had as a child, and one that would be a great addition to any classroom. The author explains the principles of DNA, anatomy and how our environment shapes who we are in a really accessible way. The illustrations really bring home that everyone is different and that difference should be celebrated!”
