I Believe in You by Deborah Somorin Illustrated by Grace Enemaku

Little Debbie is not having a good day.

First, she can’t find her shoes, then she forgets her pencils. Later that day, she just can’t get her spellings right – if only all homework were as easy as maths!

But throughout the day, Debbie encounters people who stop and help. Their time and their care show Debbie how much they believe in her – and how much she’s worth believing in.

And soon Debbie realises that she also has the magic to make a difference too …
