In a direct, friendly tone, author Zanni Louise approaches the everyday habits of a child’s life.
Scenes of vibrant colour and a collective audience introduce the word Integrity, presenting instances when the meaning is activated.
Values come under the heading integrity, dressed as a jarful of jellybeans. Delightful child characters experience lessons of the heart and mind when confronted with a value challenge. Following the instinct which lives inside them, they're rewarded with the tremendous feeling of having achieved something wonderful.
Choice plays a significant role in Integrity. Ideas are encouraged through interaction and points are directed toward the right choice in any situation. A collection of other visual ideas appear through the charming illustrations.
Courage is another component of integrity and ‘sorry’ is a powerful word to keep close at hand. Mistakes, after all, help us grow.
The design of each page is highly individual. Circles, squares and countless other shapes become frames for the various actions that reflect integrity, then there is a recap on what has been covered. Putting all these lessons into daily practice will give children a strong sense of achievement, joy and self worth.
The brilliance that Jingting Wang’s artwork brings to this series cannot be overstated.
With every book in this collection of guides for life, the best benefits are obtained when read together by adult and child. Allow for questions, as each of the six titles are designed to be a conversation starter.
Two titles, Integrity and Inclusion, are currently available. Fairness and Friendship will be available in May 2026.
