"In recent years the issue of children’s rights in education, including the right to be heard, has, rightly, been acknowledged as of great importance. This timely book provides a wealth of practical examples of innovative ways in which young children can be supported to make their voices heard and theories that justify the approaches that are taken. In doing so, the book offers a rich resource for those looking for ways to ensure that young children are engaged and interested in their learning from the beginning, those both starting out in the field of early years education, as well as the more experienced."Janice Wearmouth, Professor of Education, University of Bedfordshire, UK
