“I think it’s most important for kids to know that inside each one of them is a unique and special contribution to make to the world,” says Lin.
“Their life’s journey is about finding what their unique contribution is, and it doesn’t matter if it’s not like everyone else’s journey – there are many ways to get there.”
‘The stories are well-told and enjoyably colourful . . . there’s plenty of fun to be had with Hank and his friends’
