Description
Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboahs inspiring true story—which was turned into a film, Emmanuels Gift, narrated by Oprah Winfrey—is nothing short of remarkable.
Born in Ghana, West Africa, with one deformed leg, he was dismissed by most people—but not by his mother, who taught him to reach for his dreams. As a boy, Emmanuel hopped to school more than two miles each way, learned to play soccer, left home at age thirteen to provide for his family, and, eventually, became a cyclist. He rode an astonishing four hundred miles across Ghana in 2001, spreading his powerful message: disability is not inability. Today, Emmanuel continues to work on behalf of the disabled.
Thompsons lyrical prose and Quallss bold collage illustrations offer a powerful celebration of triumphing over adversity.
Includes an authors note with more information about Emmanuels charity.
