Emmanuel’s Dream

Written by Laurie Ann Thompson, Illustrated by Sean Qualls

How did I not find this book earlier?! It is an uplifting, amazing true story of a young boy, born with an obstacle, who lets nothing stop him living life to the fullest. In a world where excuses and blame fly freely, it’s nice to remember that hard work and determination are valuable tools for a fulfilling life.
