I remember thinking it would be good if these principles were illustrated and targeted to children at a crucial stage of their development.     Why wait until middle-age to get motivated? The aim of my work is to inspire children to understand that more than anything else, their attitudes establish who and what they may become and how happily they can live their lives.   It's not what happens to us, it's how we allow it to affect us." - Julie Davey       Available from our secure shopping cart and also in retail stores across Australia and New Zealand *If you can't find it in your local bookstore, ask them to order it in from our distributor: Dennis Jones & Associates PH: 03 9762 9100   “ In today’s society when there are so many ways for people to escape reality (and children are taking drugs at very young ages now) it is a very positive step to introduce children to the concept of positive attitudes in such areas as anger, fear, fun, gossip and health. Who knows – maybe some adults will read the section on prejudice, dealing with problems and the importance of meditation. This book has something for us all". - John Dalziel The Salvation Army     “… refreshingly successful in tackling positive attitudes … hits you between the eyes with its simple and direct message.” The Scholastic     “ A for Attitude is destined to become a classic best seller” Arnold Bonnet, Editor Education Horizons     “… released at the right time: when adults are concerned that many young people cannot face their problems” Reading Time     “...This is a self-discovery resource for everybody, not just for children.
