At last, a book about child health that puts children at the center: as actors, as co-producers and most importantly as human beings. It should be compulsory reading for health professionals, social workers and anyone else anyone else who takes child health and wellbeing seriously. --Kate Hampshire co-author of Young People's Daily Mobilities in Sub-Saharan Africa: Moving Young Lives This is a beautifully written book that sheds light on children's understandings of public health messages and practices. It is enlivened by the words of children, at times quirky and at other times heartrending, and by Dr Spray's critical analysis which situates the children's experiences within peer ecologies and the landscape of health and social inequities of Aotearoa, New Zealand. --Karen Witten co-editor of Children's Health and Wellbeing in Urban Environments

"""Writing from an anthropological standpoint, this exceptionally well-written book, enriched by an array of beautiful illustrations of life at Tūrama School realized by the author, makes an important contribution to the scarce body of Aotearoa New Zealand school ethnographies."" — Aotearao New Zealand Journal of Social Issues “At last, a book about child health that puts children at the center: as actors, as co-producers and most importantly as human beings.

In the best of worlds, it would be read and reflected upon by decision-makers and professionals around the globe and would inform the New Zealand government’s (2019) current initiative: the program of action for child and youth well-being.""— Contemporary Sociology"
