 Letter from a school librarian:
Hi David, last week in the library, I had a difficult boy who could not settle into anything and was intent on disrupting everyone else – so I pulled out the Sonny Bill book and started to look at it with him – just chatting about it, how he went to a neighbouring school to ours, where he went to secondary school, any random thing really – but it completely turned the situation around and the boy became interested. I was listening to your interview with a group of boys and the same boy came in, he related all these facts and more about Sonny Bill to the group. He was so proud of his knowledge and all the other boys responded to him in such a positive way, you could see his whole body language change, it was wonderful. Not only that – now the whole class knows your name and they all want to read your books! My point is you hit the nail on the head when you spoke of giving hope, some of our children have difficult and complicated lives and your books are not only engaging these children but also providing me with a very useful tool in trying to connect with my students in the library and building on that relationship with them and I thank you for that.

5 reviews for Off Loading with SBW

  1. Wayne Smith (All Black Assistant Coach) –

    ‘I think it is outstanding. You’ve captured the personality and humility of Sonny, whilst capturing the attention and getting across some great life lessons to the young readers – work hard, be a good team man, stay humble, be open to learning, do your homework, start at the bottom and be prepared to earn your way to the top. I love the language you use and the simplicity of the layout. I think you are on to a winner here, mate.’

  2. Nicola Bailey (Howick College) –

    ‘My boys are lining up to read this book, asking each other to hurry up so they can have a turn!’

  3. Donna (Auckland mum) –
