What if every young girl loved her body? Love Your Body encourages
you to admire and celebrate your body for all the amazing things it
can do (like laugh, cry, hug and feel) and to help you see that you
are so much more than your body. Bodies come in all different forms
and abilities. All these bodies are different and all these bodies
are good bodies. There is no size, ability or colour that is
perfect. What makes you different makes you, you - and you are
amazing! Love Your Body introduces the language of self-love and
self-care to help build resilience, while representing and
celebrating diverse bodies, encouraging you to appreciate your
uniqueness. This book was written for every girl, regardless of how
you view your body. All girls deserve to be equipped with the tools
to navigate an image-obsessed world. Featuring a special surprise
poster on the jacket, this book will show you that freedom is
loving your body with all its "imperfections" and being the
perfectly imperfect you!

Mind Like Mine is a stigma-busting collection of biographies of
some of the great people from history who have lived with mental
health conditions. Did you know Charles Darwin experienced anxiety
and Florence Nightingale lived with PTSD? From Michelangelo to
Deepika Padukone, Ada Lovelace to Freddie Flintoff, a great many
successful people with brilliant minds and talents have lived or
are living with mental health disorders. The biographies in this
book show that you can't always tell what a person is going
through, and that mental health conditions can and do impact people
from all walks of life. The aim of this book is to help remove some
of the stigma around mental health, discuss different mental health
conditions, what they mean and how they are treated; and ultimately
to show that mental health disorders do not have to hold anyone
back from achieving their dreams. The figures featured are from a
range of diverse backgrounds and disciplines across science,
literature, art, music, sport, politics and popular culture.
Additional feature pages will explain and explore key mental health
conditions including depression, bipolar disorder, obsessive
compulsive disorder, schizophrenia, anxiety and eating disorders.

Claire Cashmore, MBE and Paralympic gold medallist, was born without a
left forearm – but she never let being different stand in the way of
her big dreams. Splash is based on Claire’s real-life experience: this
gold-medal-winning swimmer really was scared of water … until one day,
everything changed!
These are Claire’s big sisters.
They call her Bear and ruffle her hair.
And whatever Claire’s sisters can do,
Claire can do too …
But there is one thing Claire won't do …The water in the swimming pool
makes her feel squirmy inside. Follow her sisters? No thank you! Not
today?
Can Claire conquer her fears? Can she set foot in the water – and what
will happen if she does?
Splash features a brilliantly bold heroine, who happens to be
differently abled, and brims with fun, positivity and Claire Cashmore’s
inspirational growth mindset message.
