“What age group is the book for?” a former Parliamentarian asked, as he looked into my eyes for an answer.

He continued looking at me, and clarified, “I mean, is it for P2? P3? P4? What classes would use it?”
“Any class,” I replied.
The reason we were chatting is because this former MP had been involved in education at the ministry level and shared my passion for education.
As if I had not heard him, he asked again, “Paul, what classes would we buy this book for?”

We don’t consider 'age.' We only ask ourselves, 'Is this book one that kids and even adults will love?’”
