"Never Too Young! 50 Unstoppable Kids who Made a Difference" by Aileen Weintraub and Laura Horton (Sterling Kids)

Sometimes it's hard to imagine what life will be like when you're ten and try to think of what you want to be when you grow up...
It's been an amazing year for books that can truly inspire kids to push themselves and their abilities, and believe in themselves just like amazing contemporary and historical figures of note.

"Never Too Young: 50 Unstoppable Kids who Made a Difference" by Aileen Weintraub and Laura Horton aims to show kids that they can begin to dream and aspire to greatness from a very early age indeed.

Gathering together 50 notable names from history and our current world, this is an amazing compendium of stories of truly incredible kids who have changed our world for the better through their selfless actions and sheer talent.

From Anne Frank to Ruby Bridges, Stevie Wonder to Venus Williams, these are kids who all overcame hardship and adversity to shine in their chosen fields.

Anne Frank, an incredible diarist who went into hiding during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. 
Each story is accompanied by a gorgeous illustration of the person in question, when they lived (and died), and an inspirational quote from them too.

Yash Gupta, an inspirational kid who wanted to ensure all children had an equal chance at school, and had good access to free eyecare
Truly stunning stuff this, beautifully presented and perfect for kids who want to see other kids who made their mark on the world at a tender age.
