This is book is marketed as for 7-9 year olds, and while I agree that this is an ideal age bracket, younger and older children can still learn a lot from Zara Rutherford’s detailed journey in this book, and be inspired.
The information is catered to children’s attentions and interests, and it is a well-presented, well-told real-life story.
