Matthew Syed’s children’s books adapt the ideas from his adult non-fiction into a format aimed at young readers. You Are Awesome became a bestseller by using real-life stories to show children that ability comes from effort and practice, not from being born gifted. The follow-up, Dare to Be You, encourages kids to embrace what makes them different.
The series also includes journals, maths guides, and times tables books that apply Syed’s growth mindset approach to schoolwork. The books are aimed at children aged roughly eight to twelve and have been widely adopted by schools across the UK.
