They have all loved the story and connected with the range of themes explored. For instance: difference, making friends, loneliness, not being able to read or write in English, making amends, fitting in, and the concept of 'home' to name a few. It helped the children to explore these big ideas in a safe and enjoyable setting where we unpacked the multi-layered story. This book lends itself to a cross-curricular approach and is written by someone who has a true understanding of a narrative that will appeal to children. -- Becky Large, primary school teacher Francis Dickens is a gifted author. She has an acute understanding of children's worries, fears, concerns and the confusion and loneliness that sometimes accompany childhood. The Giant from Nowhere is a heart-warming tale that helps children explore a range of emotions linked to being an outsider and making friends - something that will resonate with many a young reader. Highly recommended for children (and adults) of all ages. -- Viv Grant, former headteacher I've used The Giant From Nowhere with children who have English as an additional language.
