"I have read many books and articles on how boys and girls develop in the early years. However, Gender Diversity and Inclusion in Early Years Education stands out. What I really appreciated about the book was that the format supports a very practical approach to the process of personal and professional reflection and continual improvement. […]This book is ideal for anyone with an interest in issues relating to equality and diversity, and would make a useful tool to support reflection for managers and leaders. It would also provide an invaluable link between theory and practice for those undertaking early years qualifications." Gill Medhurst, Schools Week
