Kiwicorn delivers an important, timely message to teach young readers about acceptance, diversity and self-esteem. A recent NSPCC study found that in the last year, almost 35,000 children had been referred to specialist services for mental health related issues – with more than half of these referrals being primary school aged children. Just as children learn to count, they also need to learn to care – about themselves and others – and through the cute and often zany illustrations, Kiwicorn encourages children to understand that different is good, and that uniqueness is something to be embraced and celebrated.
