Emmanuel’s story of fighting ableism is well conveyed in this picture book. The author effectively shows Emmanuel’s adaptive solutions that help him get to school and participate in sports while at the same time showing Emmanuel’s observations about people with disabilities being excluded from Ghana society and how these factors all contributed to Emmanuel’s 400 mile ride across the country to raise awareness.

A lovely book for kids, I have recommended it to both of mine aged 8 and 10.
Can't wait to watch the film and get a more adult view of the story.
