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.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS

Interesting book submitted by willow on February 2, 2017, 6:52am It is uncommon to read a book about African citizens individually, and also uncommon to read stories with characters with disabilities. This one is about a real man (with one leg), who rode hundreds of miles on a bicycle to raise awareness of disabilities.

As an aside, this book may be inspiring for children of many faiths, but it is not a book about Islam. Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah is devout Christian.
