The Waterstones Review

In this wonderful collection of poems, by best-loved and Kate Greenaway Medal-winner, Shirley Hughes, Katie and her little brother Olly go out and about, romping through the changing seasons.

They take pleasure in the different elements and weather conditions - sunshine, wind, rain, mist and even snow.

From the joys of the seaside to the miseries of the sickbed, this exuberant volume captures to perfection the world of childhood.

 

You Are a Champion by Marcus Rashford and Carl Anka 

The Waterstones Review

Tear up the rule book!

Find your own lane!

You are only in competition with yourself!

Marcus Rashford MBE is recognised worldwide for his journey both on and-off the pitch – but how did a boy from the South of Manchester become not only an international footballer but also one of the leading activist voices in the UK? In this inspiring, positive and practical guide, Marcus gives YOU the tools you need to reach your full potential and will show you that your possibilities really can be endless.

In You Are a Champion: Unlock Your Potential, find your voice and be the BEST you can be, Marcus Rashford MBE draws on stories from his own life to show you that success is all about the mindset. You’ll find out how positive thinking can change your life, build mental resilience, learn how to navigate adversity and discover the unstoppable power of your own voice. You already have the tools you need to achieve your dreams; you just might not know it yet.

Full of practical advice and engaging illustrations and infographics, this is the empowering and life changing first children’s book from Marcus Rashford MBE, written in collaboration with journalist Carl Anka and featuring top tips from performance psychologist Katie Warriner.
