Inspirational story of a boy who cycled across Ghana with only one leg.
Born in Ghana with a deformed left leg, Emmanuel hopped to school, 2 miles and back, because he believed "that being disabled does not mean being unable." When he got a bicycle, his determination grew, and he set off to bike across Ghana to raise awareness for differently abled people.

One leg - many dreams. With encouragement from his mother, Emmanuel doesn't let his disability stop him from hopping the two miles to school, playing soccer with friends, or bicycling across Ghana to tell people that disability is not inability.

Add a CommentGreat title- " Emmanuel's Dream" The True Story Of Emmanuel Ofosu Yeboah. Author Laurie A. Thompson with Illustrations by Sean Qualls. I recognized actions taking by Emmanuel within the picture book story. Emmanuel was not taught to make excuses such as his deformed leg by birth and not to allow his disability to keep he from his dreams . In the story, Emmanuel becomes a cyclist. This picture is great for children in the 4th grade with a Lexile level of 750-770.
Ghana, West Africa - I listened to about 3 min of the book and it was fine!
This story can be very encouraging for school-age kids! When reading aloud, I like to take a minute for able-bodied audience members to see how long they can stand on one foot. I ask them to imagine hopping to the door of the library, then all the way home. Continue the story, then remind them at the end that Emmanuel is still alive today and working as hard as ever to empower others!
True story, describes hardship of being disabled in Ghana, very inspiring.
This is a true story about a boy called emmanuel who is a disable person and who is sruggling in life,but never gives up. The author has don a very great job making a story that is educating and entertaining
