What are your dreams and aspirations? Do you ever wonder what it would be like to do something extraordinary? Young people are capable of pretty much anything – of being world-class sportspeople and champions, of surviving seemingly impossible challenges, of changing the world.

This inspiring book is a collection of true-life stories about young people who have achieved the unimaginable: inventors and explorers, activists and heroes. There are people who have climbed mountains, both literally and metaphorically, from Bethany Hamilton (who survived a shark attack and went on to become a professional surfer) to Lizzie Velasquez (who didn’t let extreme bullying defeat her but found the strength to become an inspirational speaker, helping thousands of people around the world). And perhaps the thing you dream of doing is something that one of the children in this book have done – ballet dancing like Joel Kioko, or becoming a chess champ like Phiona Mutesi.

Large, colourful illustrations and simple text make this a great book to dip into, and after the biographical information for each person, there are interesting suggestions for activities based on that child’s message or passion, from tips on how to become a K-pop star to facts about the Australian Outback or sending a coded message in braille – lots to disc.

Their courage inspired others to join their cause, and as their numbers grew, so did their strength. In the end, their unity and perseverance led to the downfall of the oppressive regime, paving the way for a new era of peace and In the heart of a bustling city, where the sky was choked with towers of steel and glass, there existed a forgotten neighborhood. Tucked away from the gleaming lights and bustling crowds, it was a place where dreams struggled to survive amidst the shadows of neglect. In this forgotten corner of the city, a young girl named Maya lived with her family. Despite the odds stacked against them, Maya held onto a flicker of hope, dreaming of a better future for herself and her community. One day, Maya stumbled upon an old journal hidden in the attic of her rundown apartment building. Within its weathered pages were stories of resistance and resilience, tales of ordinary people who dared to stand up against injustice. Inspired by the words of the past, Maya embarked on a journey to awaken her neighborhood from its slumber. She rallied her friends and neighbors, igniting a spark of determination in their hearts. Together, they painted murals on crumbling walls, planted gardens in vacant lots, and organized community gatherings in abandoned storefronts. With each act of defiance, their voices grew louder, echoing through the streets like a rallying cry. But their efforts did not go unnoticed. The powers that be, threatened by the uprising in their midst, unleashed their forces to crush the rebellion. In the face of adversity, Maya and her comrades stood firm, refusing to back down. As tensions reached a boiling point, the city erupted into chaos. But amidst the turmoil, something remarkable happened. People from all walks of life, inspired by Maya's courage and conviction, joined the fray, swelling the ranks of the uprising. In the end, the tide turned in favor of the downtrodden. The oppressive forces were pushed back, their grip on the neighborhood loosened. And from the ashes of despair, a new community rose, united by the belief that together, they could overcome any obstacle. And at the heart of it all stood Maya, a beacon of hope in a world shrouded in darkness, a testament to the power of ordinary people to rise up and change the world.
