Telling the inspiring human story behind the creation of the
Paralympics, this young readers biography artfully combines
archival photos, full-color illustrations, and a riveting narrative
to honor the life of Ludwig Guttmann, whose work profoundly changed
so many lives. Dedicating his life to helping patients labeled
"incurables," Ludwig Guttmann fought for the rights of paraplegics
to live a full life. The young doctor believed-and eventually
proved-that physical movement is key to healing, a discovery that
led him to create the first Paralympic Games. Told with moving text
and lively illustrations, and featuring the life stories of
athletes from the Paralympic Games Ludwig helped create, this story
of the man who saved lives through sports will inspire readers of
all backgrounds.
