Synopsis

If your kids don't fully understand why telling the truth is way better than telling a lie, then you should read this book together!

Are they pretending to be ill to avoid cleaning their room, say they can do something when they haven't got a clue how to do it or telling fibs to impress their friends? Well, if they read this book they might change their mind about telling the truth instead.

With all the excuses and avoidance tactics, meet our cast of funny and quirky characters and find out why telling the truth is good for everyone.

Why Do I Have To is a PSHE series that takes a look at common areas of resistance that young children often can't see the point in doing, such as cleaning their teeth, sharing toys, or eating their greens. They're a great resource for parents, teachers and carers alike as they contain realistic scenarios, discussion points and fast facts. Each scenario presents a problem and then a resolution with a positive and empowering outcome for all involved.

Ideal for children aged 5 and up and those who are studying the 2020 RSE curriculum.

About this title

About the Author

Kay Barnham was born in Barrow-in-Furness, grew up in Carlisle, went to college in Brighton, and lived in Hove for a while, before sailing for Kinsale, Co Cork, popping back to Hove and then moving to the New Forest with her husband and daughter. And never at any point has she lived more than ten miles from the sea. She began working in children's publishing in 1992. She was an editor first of all, working on illustrated non-fiction and learning fun facts like how long it would take to walk to the moon - nine years - and how to spell palaeontology. Next, she commissioned fiction titles, editing picture books, storybooks and novels. And then she got the chance to write her own books, which she thinks is quite the best job ever. Except possibly being a chocolatier. She writes non-fiction as Kay Barnham. Her specialist subjects include ice-skating, Isambard Kingdom Brunel, lightning, fairies, Roald Dahl, Sir Isaac Newton, Christmas, dolphins, Florence Nightingale and very bad cracker jokes. And chocolate. She also writes fiction as Kay Woodward, including the Skate School series for Usborne and the novels Jane Airhead and Wuthering Hearts for Andersen Press. Altogether, she's written about a hundred books. Her favourite colour is navy blue. Her favourite chocolate is 85% cocoa solids.
