Ken Robinson's thesis is compelling . . . Creative Schools brings together his classroom experience and policy ardour in an elegant, powerfully written manifesto for change. (Tristram Hunt Guardian)

Wonderful and enjoyable. (Malala Yousafzai, Nobel Prize Laureate)

A comprehensive and compelling statement of why creativity matters for everyone, what it looks like in action, and how to get there. Inspiring and so readable you will feel Sir Ken is talking directly to you. (Andy Hargreaves, author of Professional Capital)

This book is a wake-up call to the emerging global human resources crisis . . . a must-read. (Pasi Sahlberg, author of Finnish Lessons 2.0)

Ken Robinson is the world's most potent advocate of global education transformation; his clarity, passion and insight have inspired millions, including me.
