You Are Awesome : Find Your Confidence and Dare to be Brilliant at (Almost) Anything (ENG)

A positive and empowering guide to help children build resilience, fulfil their potential and become successful, happy, awesome adults.

I'm no good at sport ...

I can't do maths ...

I really struggle with exams ...

Sound familiar?

If you believe you can't do something, the chances are you won't try. But what if you really could get better at maths, or sport or exams? In fact, what if you could excel at anything you put your mind to?

You Are Awesome can help you do just that, inspiring and empowering young readers to find the confidence to realise their potential. The first children's book from Times journalist, two-time Olympian and best-selling author Matthew Syed, it uses examples of successful people from Mozart to David Beckham to demonstrate that success really is earned rather than given, and that talent can be acquired. With hard work and determination, practice and self-belief, there's no reason why anyone can't achieve anything.

Practical, insightful and positive, this is the book to help children build resilience, embrace their mistakes and grow into successful, happy adults.
