Be your best self

Danielle Brown and Nathan Kai

life skills for unstoppable kids

What are your BIG dreams? Maybe you'd like to be a scientist, an award-winning journalist, play in a rock band, swim in the Olympic Games, groom dogs, own a bakery or even help to run your country? We all have different dreams, that's what makes us unique. But whatever it is that you want to do, the skills you'll need to achieve your goals are the same. This exciting new book helps children and young people to practise these core skills and provides a survival kit for them to dip into when they need extra help or motivation. Some of the themes explored are: goal setting, growth mindset, perseverance, getting organised and learning to fail well
