You Can Do Anything! by Jonnie Peacock - Resource Pack

Publishing just ahead of the Paralympics, this empowering non-fiction guide from two time gold-medal-winning Paralympian and Strictly Come Dancing star Jonnie Peacock will help young people find their happiness, chase their dreams and be unstoppable.

Whether it’s sport, art, maths or just spending time with friends, this book will help young readers discover what it is they love and how they can harness this to achieve whatever they want in life.

Written in collaboration with children’s mental health expert Laura Earnshaw, this empowering book is packed full of Jonnie’s own stories alongside practical tips, tricks and journaling opportunities, with inspiring chapters on:

– Embracing uniqueness

– Finding what you love

– Making it happen

– Mind-body connection

– Stepping out of your comfort zone

– Bouncing back from adversity

– Working as a team

– Passing on your knowledge to help others

The world should be open to everyone, and everyone should be able to achieve their dreams if they have the right support. Jonnie’s book takes young readers on a journey to get inspired, build confidence and learn that they can achieve anything, no matter their abilities.

Children will learn that happiness is something that can be actively worked on and found with hard work, a good mindset, plenty of patience and a whole heap of determination! All things Jonnie brings into his daily life and practice, so he can be the athlete he is today.

Complete with lively illustrations by Ashwin Chacko, this book will help readers embrace their passions, maximise their potential and be unstoppable!
