Spinner the Winner: Volume 1 - Tapa blanda

A tale of triumph over adversity, with superb images, an eco-friendly theme and memorable characters. 'Spinner the Winner' is sure to entertain and educate readers young and old. Review from mother-of-3, Sarah Hoss, UK: "This delightful children’s book is beautifully illustrated and tells the story of a little wind turbine dealing with the trials and tribulations of life along with the debate about wind energy. The characters come to life quickly and all ends well, with some gentle leg-pulling of authority along the way, which primary age children would really enjoy. Perfect for introducing some social and environmental concepts, along with an emphasis on kindness and family.”
