What a wonderful collection of poetry, all reflecting themes of how one can be brave, gather courage and face your own fears.
Written in all sorts of structures, Coelho encourages the reader to be brave and try to write their own poems – allowing that anything goes in the structure of poems, so there’s no need to feel bound by rhymes or structures.
The poems here cover all sorts of activities and issues – from diving into the swimming pool, making friends, rollercoasters, to reading to the class amongst others. Each poem is prefaced with a paragraph explaining why it was written and what makes the particular activity courageous.
I can see this collection being used in many homes and classrooms as a means of building confidence and speaking skills, whilst exploring how language can be used. Coelho has a mission to help children enjoy poetry and use it as a tool for creativity – this book will certainly foster that.
From the fantastic duo behind Poems Aloud and Smile Out Loud comes another compendium of 25 original confidence-building poems to read out loud which will show children that their voice has FANTASTIC power.
Read the full description
From multi-award winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho comes 25 more brilliant, sparkling and truly original poems for children, specially written to help build confidence, develop speaking skills and help foster self-belief.
The collection contains mantras to be true to yourself, to help you feel brave, project happiness, conjure a smile, make you laugh or cheer others up.
Some are odes, some can be said as personal mantras or just poems that instil confidence and help children realise the power of their voices.
Reading these poems aloud will teach children the power of a poem, encouraging them to explore the magic of language and foster a love of verse.
This book follows on from Poems Aloud and Smile Out Loud, the hugely succesful books from Joseph Coehlo, illustrated in beautifully vivid coloud by Daniel Gray-Barnett.
These books have inspired thousands of young readers at home and in classrooms to speak up and love the power of their own voice.
