This brightly illustrated pocket-sized hardback contains 50 little boosts of positivity, 50 memorable poems that will help young people feel better about themselves and their lives, particularly if they’re feeling anxious, insecure or just a bit lost.
With titles such as Live Life in Colour, Just Breathe and Being Different, each poem delivers reassurance or advice in verse that has an irresistibly upbeat tempo and uses rhyme to push home its points and find a way into memory. It’s just the book to dip into at the start of the day or to turn to when a positive message is needed.
Look out too for Being Me: Poems About Thoughts, Worries and Feelings by Liz Brownlee, Matt Goodfellow and Laura Mucha.
