Bronte’s boots shout ‘this is who I am today!’ Adaptable
to the many roles Bronte chooses to play, they become brave-girl boots, I-believe-I-can boots, bubbly, and full-of-beans boots.
With her blue boots on, there are no boundaries for Bronte; no allocated gender roles. She loves to try everything.

Written
in clever and descriptive rhyming verse,
Bronte: Me and My Boots is full of positive reinforcement.
It encourages the use of imagination and a can-do mind-set.

Bronte is assertive, strong, imaginative, energetic, brave, and the best friend she can be. She presents as the ideal role model to children who love to express their inner selves.
The first title in the Bronte series by the word perfect Penny Harrison, celebrates life.
It reflects the confidence owned by children when wearing their favourite
clothing items which allow them to do the things they love, and with which they
identify themselves.
By the end of the book we have a clear picture of
Bronte’s character and attitude to life, including the support of her exploring
mind by her warm family circle and best friend. Being an outdoorsy girl, there
is a lot of nature, animals, tools and creativity involved.
Evie Barrow’s delightful and expressive
illustrations prepare the groundwork for forthcoming adventures. Her choice and
use of colour enhances the sense of freedom and joy which Bronte exhibits.
An abundance of small images flow through the book
and invite closer inspection. The decorative white items scattered over blue
end pages are a design of Bronte’s life and activities.
Bronte is a carefree, lovable and out-going child
that many kids will want to copy, learn more about, and definitely follow to
see what she gets up to next!
