These picture books were designed to inspire children aged 7-10 to recognise that amazing possibilities lie both ahead of them and within them, and to believe that they are capable of realising those possibilities.

Featuring modern-day leaders who persisted through many challenges until their childhood goal was achieved, these stories will inspire your child, grandchild or student.

The Boy Who Barked tells the fascinating story of Dr John Demartini and was endorsed by him. The Boy Who Found His Pulse tells the equally inspiring story of Don Tolman and was endorsed by him. (Click on the image for more info.)

As you enjoy these stories together, consider sharing the dreams and goals you had as a child, and ask your child about theirs. Acknowledge some of their special qualities. What do you see and admire in them?

Written by Liliane Grace and fully illustrated by Yvette Bentata-Moore, with photographs to confirm the reality of ‘the boy who…’, both of these books will open doorways to treasured time with the special young people in your life.
