"An absolutely stunning collection of poems about empowerment from an amazing array of poets. I can’t recommend this highly enough." - Annie Everall, OBE, Authors Aloud

"Courage in a poem is an absolute hug in a book. This stunning anthology, featuring work from 20 contemporary poets and 4 incredible illustrators, is just brilliant, and if I could, I would gift it to every school so that all children can feel the encouragement and inspiration in these verses. Packed with powerful poetic pick me ups and pep talks, its empowering prose - whether about self-belief, celebrating your heritage, body positivity, facing fears, being your own incredible self or blazing a trail - brings confidence and courage to its readers. I urge you to seek it out and go pester your local library to find it for you! " - Mrs Brown's Bookbox

'The book is BURSTING with a poetic celebration of all the things that courage brings, by a range of excellent poets... The poems are all gorgeous, life-affirming and heart-warming.
