Description

Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah's inspiring true story is a testament to the power of perseverance and determination. Born with a physical disability, he was often dismissed by others, but his mother's unwavering support and love encouraged him to reach for his dreams. As he grew older, Emmanuel overcame incredible obstacles to achieve remarkable feats, including cycling over 400 miles across his country. Thompson's lyrical prose and Qualls's bold collage illustrations bring Emmanuel's story to life, highlighting the importance of embracing diversity and celebrating individuality. This powerful and uplifting book also features an author's note with more information about Emmanuel's charity, offering readers a deeper understanding of the impact of his work. A heartwarming and inspiring true story, Emmanuel's Dream is a celebration of triumphing over adversity and a reminder that disability is not inability.
