SOME of the implications of Britain's vote to leave the European Union are so complicated that even experts have been struggling to get their heads around things.

But with the vote set to impact everyone – not just those old enough to vote – an Oxford publisher has produced a book to explain Brexit to children.

The 'Brexit Explained' guide is aimed at Key Stage Two pupils at primary school and is intended to be non-biased and entirely factual.

Author Dan Nunn said he realised there was a desire from youngsters to understand the implications of the vote last June.

He said: "It is a very big issue that they are going to hear about all the time.

"You cannot turn on the TV without hearing about it.

"I thought there must be some children who are quite worried about it but they still do not know the answers to a lot of questions.

"Hopefully this will make it a lot less scary."

The book, which is published by Raintree, explains the key institutions of the EU and examines the arguments made by the remain and leave campaigns in the run-up to the referendum.

It also looks at the immediate and possible long-term consequences of the result and introduces readers to some of the leading figures in the debate, such as Theresa May, Boris Johnson and Nigel Farage.

Mr Nunn said condensing such complex issues into a book accessible for primary school pupils had its challenges.

He said: "I consider myself to be quite informed, I read the papers and watch the news.

"But when I was writing it I realised that even I only vaguely knew what the different institutions were and what they did.

"In terms of writing it was like all the books we produce.

"We try to keep things simple and explain things clearly."

Raintree said the book, which is the first it has ever produced on a developing news story, has had a lot of interest from schools.

Mr Nunn added that adult readers had said they had found it informative in a world of complex debates about Brexit.

But the author had a challenge on his hands to make sure he remained impartial when writing about such a controversial topic.

He said: "It was interesting because I and our editor who also worked on it had different views.

"It was looked at by a number of different people and we did not all vote in the same way.

"We tried really, really hard to cut out anything biased.

"There were things I wrote that we reviewed because we thought they were a bit subjective."
