CHILDREN’S
KIDSTORY: 50 Children and Young People Who Shook Up the World by Tom Adams
If you are a kid, do you feel that you are powerless to do anything really important because you are young? You don’t have to be an adult to make a difference in your world. Learn about 50 amazing young people who didn’t allow their age to limit them into thinking, “I can’t.” Some names will be familiar to you from history, like Pocahontas and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, who achieved great things when they were only 12 years old. Other figures in the news today like Greta Thunberg, Malala Yousafzai and Bethany Hamilton are adding their voices to the chorus of young people who are making themselves known on the world stage. Many other inspiring stories from kids around the world can be found in this vibrant and inspirational book.
Ages: 9–14
