You Are Awesome
You Are Awesome

Inspiring kids to unlock potential and resilience.

"You Are Awesome" is a gem, especially for aspiring young minds seeking motivation and a blueprint for success. Matthew Syed's practical advice, conveyed through engaging stories, transforms the abstract concept of a 'growth mindset' into something tangible. It's that book which doesn't just preach but also connects with its readers, encouraging them not just to dream but to act on those dreams with confidence. This could be the nudge your child needs to leap over the hurdles of self-doubt.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.
