No one is too small to make a change. Growing up, there is so much
out of our control and to feel frustrated about. But in this
inspiring and practical handbook, bestselling children's author and
Human Rights campaigner, Onjali Rauf, shares her top ten ways for
finding hope, creating change and making a difference. With the
help of her favourite fictional characters and some of the most
inspiring people she has ever met, Onjali invites readers to dive
in and discover everything there is to know about kindness,
empathy, friendship and fighting for the things that matter. (Plus,
cool stuff like X-ray vision and detecting negative forces. Yes!)

smallest act of kindness, magical things can happen. Hope is on the
horizon; here's how children everywhere can find it. Parental
guidance recommended: issues related to discrimination, injustice
and prejudice are included.
