_______________ 'A very touching and honest story ... Rico and Nick
make a great team!' - Jacqueline Wilson _______________ An
empowering adoption story by eleven-year-old Premier League Young
Writer of the Year Rico Hinson-King, illustrated by the
award-winning Nick Sharratt There is a kid. Let's call him Charlie.
On the outside he looks like every other football-mad boy of his
age. But he isn't ... A story of hope and resilience, this gentle,
inspiring picture book tells the tale of Charlie, a little boy who
was taken into care when he was very small. Charlie dreams of
finding his forever home to share with his sisters. Sometimes he
feels scared. Sometimes he wants to scream and cry (and he does,
just a little). But he is strong. He is tough. Strong and Tough is
by the amazingly talented ten-year-old Rico Hinson-King. Rico, like
Charlie, found strength and resilience along the journey to find
his forever family (and played lots of football along the way!).
Rico is a Junior Premier League footballer with a knack for words
too, who wrote his story so that other children going through
similar circumstances can feel less alone, and to encourage empathy
in others. His moving and powerful words are paired with warm,
friendly illustrations by the award-winning Nick Sharratt, who
famously illustrated many of Jacqueline Wilson's books including
the Tracy Beaker series.
