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, specially written to help build confidence,
develop speaking skills and help foster self-belief.
The collection contains mantras to be true to yourself, to 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 succesful books from Joseph Coehlo**,** illustrated in
beautifully vivid color 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.
