From the fantastic duo behind Poems Aloud and Smile Out Loud comes another compendium of 25 original confidence-building poems to read out loud, which will show children that their voice has FANTASTIC power.

From multi-award-winning poet and Waterstones Children's Laureate Joseph Coelho, comes 25 more brilliant, sparkling, and truly original poems for children. These poems are specially written to help build confidence, develop speaking skills, and foster self-belief. The collection contains mantras to be true to yourself, help you feel brave, project happiness, conjure a smile, make you laugh, or cheer others up.

Some are odes; some can be said as personal mantras or just poems that instil confidence and help children realise the power of their voices. Reading these poems aloud will teach children the power of a poem, encouraging them to explore the magic of language and foster a love of verse.

This book follows on from Poems Aloud and Smile Out Loud, the hugely successful books from Joseph Coelho, illustrated in beautifully vivid colour by Daniel Gray-Barnett. These books have inspired thousands of young readers at home and in classrooms to speak up and love the power of their own voice.
