Brill Kid - The Big Number 2 is 'personal development' with a difference. A BIG difference! Aimed at seven to eleven year olds - the exact age when mental habits are created - the book picks up where 2018’s Diary of a Brilliant Kid left off, raising the bar from mental health to mental wealth and enabling young people to flourish in a world that's hell bent on knocking them sideways.
It's about happiness and wellbeing. It tells you how to shine when the world's a bit dull. It's about learning to be your best self and hanging in there when the world's doing its worst. Packed with illustrations, and in full colour, it's got oodles of content about self-care, kindness and confidence. It's got facts, diagrams, stories, activities, quotes and jam. Yes jam, the sticky sweet stuff we all love.
Ultimately, it's about setting you up for a long and happy life and will leave you with a big smile on your face.
As the authors say: “This book has a YOU-Certificate. It’s written for YOU, it’s about YOU and it contains YOU. The best version of YOU. Happy endings are nice. But happy middles are cool and happy beginnings are the best place to start.”

About the authors:
DR ANDY COPE is a qualified teacher, best-selling author, happiness expert and recovering academic. His PhD was 12 years in the making and while he appreciates that his ‘Dr of Happiness’ label is terribly cheesy it does afford him an important media platform. In times of rising depression and an epidemic of anxiety, Andy believes there has never been a more appropriate time to raise the wellbeing agenda.
He is a sought-after keynote speaker and authority on employee engagement, wellbeing and human flourishing, and is lucky enough to work with some very large businesses. He has recently tailored his workshops to meet the needs of children and teachers - now delivering to audiences from age 8 upwards!
He is also a best-selling children’s author. His ‘Spy Dog’ series has sold in excess of a million copies worldwide (he bigs himself up by telling everyone he is world famous, if you’re 7)
