Notes

From the best-selling, award-winning author of You Are Awesome comes the much-anticipated follow-up, Dare to Be You. The world is a tricky place for kids, from friends telling you what to do, adverts telling you who to be and a seemingly endless onslaught of tests and competitions for you to ace. In Dare to Be You, Matthew helps children forge their own unique path, tackling problems and setbacks with determination, grit and resilience. Because this isn't about having a stiff upper lip - it's about developing an inner confidence that stems from knowing, and liking, yourself. Matthew explores the pressures to be perfect, cool and 'normal', and explains why finding the bravery to be yourself is the key to growing up happy. With You Are Awesome's trademark mix of hilarious text, stylish illustration, personal insights, and inspiring real-life examples, Dare to Be You shares Matthew's boyhood journey, exploring the strategies he used to overcome negative thinking and achieve his very best.
