Publishing just ahead of the Paralympics, this empowering non-fiction guide from gold-medal-winning Paralympian Jonnie Peacock will help young people find their happiness, chase their dreams and be unstoppable. The world should be open to everyone, and everyone should be able to achieve their dreams if they have the right support. This non-fiction guide takes young people on a journey to get inspired, build confidence and learn that they can achieve anything, no matter their abilities. Whether you enjoy sports, arts, maths or just spending time with your friends, this book helps readers discover what it is they love, and how to embrace it and maximise their potential. With inspiring chapters on finding your happiness, learning to make the most of it, taking on new challenges and coming back stronger. Jonnie pulls on his experiences as a Paralympian, taking the plunge on Strictly Come Dancing and facing up to defeat and coming back from setbacks to bring his guidance to the attention of young readers. With journaling opportunities and stories from other inspiring athletes, readers will learn that happiness is something that can be worked on and found, it's often down to hard work and a good mindset, and those are two things that you can learn with patience and determination, just like Jonnie.
