Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah's inspiring true story—which was turned into a film, Emmanuel's Gift, narrated by Oprah Winfrey—is nothing short of remarkable. 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. Thompson's lyrical prose and Qualls's bold collage illustrations offer a powerful celebration of triumphing over adversity. Includes an author's note with more information about Emmanuel's charity.

Emmanuels Traum: Die wahre Geschichte von Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah
„Ein starkes und gewinnendes Bilderbuch. …Ein Triumph“ -School Library Journal, Starred
Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboahs inspirierende wahre Geschichte – unter dem Titel „Emmanuels Geschenk“ („Emmanuels Gift“) verfilmt wurde, mit Oprah Winfrey als Sprecherin – ist einfach bemerkenswert. Geboren in Ghana, Westafrika, ohne Schienbein im rechten Bein wurde Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah von den meisten Menschen abgelehnt – aber nicht von seiner Mutter, die ihm beibrachte, für seine Träume zu kämpfen. Als Junge hüpfte Emmanuel über drei Kilometer zur Schule, er lernte Fußball spielen, verließ mit dreizehn Jahren sein Zuhause, um für seine Familie zu sorgen, und wurde schließlich Radfahrer. 2001 fuhr er unglaubliche 645 Kilometer quer durch Ghana und verbreitete seine eindringliche Botschaft: Behinderung bedeutet nicht Unfähigkeit. Emmanuel setzt sich auch heute noch für behinderte Menschen ein. Thompsons erzählende Literatur und Qualls kraftvolle Illustrationen feiern auf beeindruckende Weise das Triumphieren über Widrigkeiten. Enthält eine Anmerkung des Autors mit weiteren Informationen über Emmanuels Wohltätigkeitsorganisation.
