Win a series set of The Courage Club
Closing Date: 31st August 2026
The Courage Club is a vibrant, inclusive rhyming picture book series designed to support young readers in developing inner strength, self-belief and emotional resilience from the early years. Developed by a children's mental health expert and veteran teacher, the series places confidence-building affirmations at the heart of children's reading journey, with a wise mouse narrator framing each gentle story. Read in order or as resilience-building standalones. Tips for grown-ups at the back!
Bouncy rhyme and gorgeous, diverse illustrations see casts of human and animal characters push through all kinds of challenges, from facing Pesky Thought Pixies to befriending Mistake Monsters. Children learn key phrases like: I CAN! I AM! I WILL! Perfect to read as a family or in class from 3+.
I Can't Do It... Yet!
Following a clumsy cheetah who can barely race and birds who are still learning to fly, children recognise that learning something new and making progress takes time.
Mistakes Are Great!
Helps children see that mistakes aren't big, scary monsters to fear but powerful, friendly (and fluffy) helpers on our journey of learning. Mistakes are how we learn best!
We Love a Challenge!
Celebrates the joy of tackling something tricky and reminds us that hard things help us grow. Join a warthog rockstar and a lion learning to swim as they face their fears with the help of Larry the Dung Beetle.
Catch That Pesky Thought!
Negative self-talk makes aspiring child authors, artists and astronauts lose their confidence... but the Wise Mouse helps them see past the mean thought pixies to recognise that not every thought that pops into their heads is true.
The Courage Club books are published by Bloomsbury Education | RRP £7.99
