They too can become creative, fearless, unique artists, activists, scientists, athletes, leaders in whatever path they choose. Readers can imagine how someone like themselves can meet new challenges, rise against inequalities, change the world. Once again Phil Amara and Oliver Chin create a children's book that helps children and youth see the world with new possibilities. Who wouldn't be tickled to have you portrayed in the awesome caricatures by Juan Calle. The book's illustrations alone are keepsake rewards for each amazing person."
