Description

Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah’s inspiring true story—which was once turned into a film, Emmanuel’s Gift, narrated by Oprah Winfrey—is little short of remarkable.

Born in Ghana, West Africa, with one deformed leg, he was once dismissed by the general public—but not by his mother, who taught him to succeed in for his dreams. As a boy, Emmanuel hopped to school more than two miles each and every way, learned to play soccer, left home at age thirteen to provide for his circle of relatives, and, in the end, became a cyclist. He rode an astonishing four hundred miles across Ghana in 2001, spreading his powerful message: disability isn’t inability. As of late, Emmanuel continues to work on behalf of the disabled.

Thompson’s lyrical prose and Qualls’s bold collage illustrations offer a powerful celebration of triumphing over adversity.

Includes an writer’s note with more information about Emmanuel’s charity.
