Reviews

"The ideas of Russian philosopher Mikhail Bakhtin concerning dialogism are a deeply fascinating read and are conveyed in a way that will engage and inspire anyone studying early childhood education. It highlights the profound impact we have as adults as we contribute to children’s lives in whatever role we play and the crucial importance of love, laughter and dialogue!" – Martine Horvath, eye magazine
