One of the bestest non-fiction books out there. We gobbled it up, and then some. Great role model, and especially for young kids, sometimes it is great to hear that even as an old person one can be inspiring!
Lovely story of the worlds oldest man to finish a marathon. Tells of his challenges as he grew from a small boy who could not walk into a young man with a family. And then how he approached old age after the death of his wife. Probably not for the very youngest of children, but I think a 4-5 YO could enjoy the lovely pictures and the basic message- know yourself, trust yourself, and keep trying.
GROWTH MINDSET- Fauja’s story is an excellent book to add to your family library or classroom library. This book remind you that it’s never to late to do anything. It’s important to challenge yourself.
This is a wonderful picture book biography about a Sikh runner who would let nothing stop him from his dreams of running and gaining positive press for Sikhs worldwide.

An inspiring picture book biography about the "oldest person to ever run a marathon". A great book to show young readers the power of persistence and believing in oneself.
This would be a fabulous classroom library investment! A teacher could keep coming back to it over and over to lead all kinds of lessons.

This is an awesome inspirational story about the oldest person to ever run a marathon. The illustrations doing a really great job of depicting Singh and his family in a warm, realistic manner. I appreciated that the back matter includes information about what it means to be a Sikh, as well as about Singh's life. Very nice addition to any public library, classroom, or home collection. I do wish that it included a bit more information about why Singh couldn't walk when he was a child; without this, it could lead kids to believe that children who can't walk just haven't tried hard enough.
