Louis Braille
Little People, BIG DREAMS Louis Braille explores the life of the remarkable man behind Braille, the tactile reading and writing system. Little Louis was a curious child - always exploring and having adventures. Then one day, while playing in his father's workshop, he had an accident with a tool and eventually lost sight in both eyes. It was tricky to get used to, but with help from his family and a local teacher, Louis continued to learn and explore. Aged ten, he moved to Paris to start at the Royal Institute for the Young Blind. Unfortunately, the school used a system that was very tricky, and didn't allow pupils to write. Disappointed with alternatives, Louis began to develop his own system. When he shared his invention four years later, his teachers and classmates were amazed - his system used just six dots in a tiny space that fit under his fingertip, and included a complete alphabet, with punctuation marks, numbers and mathematical symbols. It took many years for his system to be widely used, but little by little it spread across the world and came to be known as Braille. Today, Braille is used by more than six million people and there are codes for more than 133 languages. Little People, BIG DREAMS Louis Braille features: Quirky and stylish illustrationsA biographical timeline, complete with historical photos and a detailed profile Recommendations for further reading Little People, BIG DREAMS is the bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists.

Born in the tumult of World War I, a young Jewish boy named Yehiel Szulewicz chafes at the borders of his hometown of Żyrard籀w, Poland, and at the rules set in place by his restrictive parents.

His journey takes him beyond Polish borders, to Austria, Croatia, France, and Spain. With no money and no ID papers, he often sleeps under the stars, with only the sky as his blanket. But even wayfaring Yehiel can't outrun the evil spreading across Europe in the years leading up to World War II. As the fascists and Nazis rise to power, Yehiel soon finds himself a member of the Spanish Republican Army and then the Jewish Resistance in Vichy France, fighting for freedom, his friends, and his very life. Inspired by the true story of Uri Shulevitz's uncle and stunningly illustrated by the author, The Sky Was My Blanket is a unique and riveting account of one man's courage and resilience amidst one of the darkest periods in global history.

The Lie That Sounded Nice
The Lie That Sounded Nice: How I Learned the Difference Between Truth and ControlChildren's EditionBy Garrick D. PattendenThis is not a book about what happened. It's a book about how it felt.In this powerful, emotional, and unflinching novel for ages 8 to 14, one boy's quiet voice dares to speak the unspeakable: what it means to be lied to, controlled, and emotionally harmed-not by strangers, but by people you were taught to trust.The Lie That Sounded Nice is a deeply honest, peer-narrated journey through the eyes of children who discover that sometimes kindness is used as a weapon, smiles hide manipulation, and friends can turn into mirrors of your worst pain. But this story also holds something stronger than fear-truth, spoken in whispers, in hugs, in silence that doesn't surrender.Through Leo, Ty, Jasmin, Ella, Sophie, Nico, and Jeremy, readers learn how gaslighting works-and what it feels like. They see how narcissistic behaviour can spread like a shadow when no one interrupts it. They witness what it means when the rules always change, when the apology is a trap, and when standing up for yourself feels like breaking the world in half.But then they learn something else: that love is not a performance. That true friends tell the truth even when it hurts. That healing can begin with a single whisper: "You're not alone anymore."This is not a fairytale. It's not about magic powers or imaginary monsters. This is about the schoolyard. The classroom. The couch that was never yours. The memory someone tried to rewrite. And the moment you learned to say, "No more."For any child who's been blamed for feeling sad, for asking questions, or for remembering what really happened-this book was written for you. And if you haven't been through this yet, it will help you see those who have.
Never Tell A Lie
I dedicate this book to every child girls and boys who have ever been sexually assault in anyway by a stranger or someone you known. And to the children who haven't to bring self awareness to you. For every child who is now an adult that have been carrying the pain and memories of a wound. I pray that your scares spiritually and naturally be healed and made whole from this moment forward for the rest of your life.

What Have You Seen?
In a world where the potential of youth is immense yet underutilised, What Have You Seen? is a timely clarion call to a generation wandering in mediocrity, confusion, and misdirection. Birthed from a divine burden during the author's National Youth Service in Nigeria, this book explores God's urgent desire to awaken the hearts of young people to their place in His eternal plan.

Unbroken
UNBROKEN: Living whole in a culture that Glorifies fragments is a book of books. For the first time, let's talk about the white part of the handkerchief, and not the black spots on it. Millions of people, especially young people are celebrating chastity, not because they lack the "opportunity", but because they choose to stay chaste, they choose to celebrate discipline.Virginity is a blessing not a problem. They say purity is old school. That waiting is weird, that everybody is doing it...But guess what? The numbers don't lie. In Nigeria and across Africa, more than 70% of boys and girls are still keeping themselves. In US, 60% of high school students are still chaste, in Japan, almost half of the young adults still keep their virginity intact. In China, over 60% of university students are still waiting. They are not waiting because they lack opportunity or are clueless, they are waiting because they have goals, because they respect themselves and they know their worth. UNBROKEN is more than just a book, it is a global wake up call. It's a BOLD YES to Purity, to Peace of mind and to Purpose. You are not strange, you are strong. You are not behind, you are ahead, you are not broken...you are UNBROKEN.

Illustrated in vibrant, joyous color by Catalonian artist Mariona Cabassa, Music and Silence introduces children to a man who was not just a master of the cello, but a remarkable model of sacrifice and artistic protest.

This included Fred, whose parents had immigrated to the United States from Japan many years before. But Fred refused to go. He knew that what the government was doing was unfair. And when he got put in jail for resisting, he knew he couldn't give up.The first book in Heyday's Fighting for Justice series and now in paperback, the story of Fred Korematsu's fight against discrimination explores the life of one courageous person who made the United States a fairer place for all Americans, and it encourages all of us to speak up for justice.
