A story about a boy who goes through great lengths to achieve his lifelong goal of biking through the entire country of Ghana, using only one good leg. A story of inspiration and triumph to reiterate that we should always do our best and anything is possible with perseverance and heart.

Emmanuel's Dream is an inspirational story about a boy who refuses to be overcome by his disability. Others tell him he should just become a beggar, but he is determined to be the best he can be. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and the story flows well. Students will find hope and strength in Emmanuel's strong, resilient spirit.

4.5! "...being disable does not mean being unable." Loved this sweet and true story of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah. Such and inspiring book and I'm so glad it's a picture book because you don't see many stories like this for children.
