A book with a very positive story about how you can teach your mind to do amazing things! Especially for those who have just gone back to school. Always try hard whether you are good at something or not. Your progress will amaze you. By Niels van Hove https://t.co/BYI8j9SUPP (from X)

Kate is a sporty and happy girl. She does well at school and has many friends. But like every girl, she sometimes faces difficult situations at home or at school. Discover how Kate uses her strong mind to tackle her daily challenges with a positive attitude. Kate will face several situations where she applies a positive attitude to deal with her challenge. Amongst them are getting ready in time in the morning, doing cartwheels, standing in front of the whole class with show and tell and playing basketball. Kate applies techniques like goals setting, positive self-talk, accept failure as learning, visualisation of a problem, breathing or mindfulness exercise, gratitude, and controlled distraction. These tips to build a strong mind in children are presented in an easy to read, fun and practical way. It's a great book for children, especially those at primary school, to read under their own steam. Kate's story will open the door for children to commence building their own strong mind. This awareness and knowledge will enable children to participate in an open dialogue about the importance of mental toughness and how to develop it. This book aspires to educate children and parents about mental toughness and open a positive dialogue on the subject. Kate solves her every day problems with a positive attitude and hopefully will help 5-8 year old children do the same.

A great book about the joys of music! 🎶 I encourage everyone to learn an instrument as it’s good for the mind and soul regardless of the terrible sounds in early stages. This is "Here Comes Frankie" By @TimHopgood #HowardStories #BedtimeStories #childrensbooks #herecomesfrankie https://t.co/QzYg9Gq2Ty (from X)

Frankie's family is extremely quiet, but when he brings a trumpet home to take lessons, every note he plays emits an interesting, new color or scent into the house.

I read this in the hope that it would teach me everything I need to know so that one day I can become a racing driver although I think I may have left it too late... (from Amazon)

'HILARIOUS AND OUTRAGEOUS' CHRIS EVANS 'PURE ENTERTAINMENT . . . SO MUCH FUN'GUARDIAN BOOKS OF THE YEAR Read the hilarious full-throttle memoir from one of the biggest characters in UK motor racing - Jason Plato. Two-time championship-winning and record-breaking racing driver, Jason Plato is a living, breathing example of what you shouldn't do if you want to become a professional racing driver: DO NOT: · Steal a JCB in Monaco and end up in prison there - twice · Kill Bernie Ecclestone (almost) · Choose fags and booze over the gym · Give Prince Charles the finger on the M42 · Make enemies with a 6ft 6" rival who is a black belt in everything Since joining the Williams Touring Car team in 1997 he has had more race wins than Lewis Hamilton and Stirling Moss, competed in more races than Jenson Button and set the largest number of fastest laps ever. But he's also a rule breaker who has had more than his fair share of near-death experiences, drunken escapades and more. And yet he's still racing. There is nothing sensible, predictable or considered about Jason, but this is how he became a racing legend. LONGLISTED FOR THE TELEGRAPH SPORTS BOOK OF THE YEAR AUTOBIOGRAPHY AWARD 'As entertaining as watching him drive, a cracking read!' Sir Chris Hoy 'Jason Plato is one of the most gifted racing drivers of his generation!' Damon Hill
