What is I Tell Myself I'm Awesome about?

A playful collection of poems about feelings, family, friendship and the wonderfully odd things that fill everyday life. Meet brave dogs, sleepy sloths, a waxy lemon and plenty of sausages as the poems explore happiness, worry, stage fright, self-belief and the surprising ways our minds work. With lively wordplay, funny rhymes, thoughtful moments and stretch vocabulary, Joshua Seigal’s imaginative verses invite readers to laugh, reflect and discover that even difficult days can contain a glimmer of awesomeness.
