What would you dare to try if you stopped worrying about fitting in?

Because guess what? There’s no such thing as normal.
Drawing examples from sport, science and even business, Dare to Be You empowers young readers to follow their own path, love what makes them different and question the world around them.

Charming, informative and inspiring motivational book for children
Hugely inspiring, and should be read by every teen on the planet
Matthew Syed's first book for children, You Are Awesome, was a massive hit...This is the sequel and we reckon it's just as good, if not better...With lively text, stylish illustrations and real-life examples...it sets out to encourage young readers to build their confidence and resilience and follow their own path in life
