Review

"A theme that has been tackled before of course, but Raffi wears its message lightly without resort to mawkishness or sentimentality. A delightful book to share with a KS1/younger KS2 class which will have to provoke interesting discussion."

- English Association

"It's an excellent story, perceptive and thoughtful, about being confident with yourself, about not being swayed by others and doing what you think is right and handling opposition; family love is shown as vital too. You could be different!"

- Parents in Touch

"Vibrant, affectionate and inclusive, it is a book which celebrates difference and shows that being creative is cool. A positive story to share with a group of children, it doesn't labour the message that everyone will have to be valued, whatever their talents."

New in paperback!Raffi is a shy boy who doesn't like noisy games and is steadily teased at school. But when he gets the idea of making a scarf for his dad's birthday he is full of enthusiasm, even supposing the other children think it is girly to knit. Then the day draws near for the school pageant, and there is one big problem - no costume for the prince. And that is the reason when Raffi has his most brilliant idea of all - to make a prince's cape. On the day of the pageant, Raffi's cape is the star of the show.
