Lessons from a Street Kid

After starting Free The Children when he was twelve years old, Craig Kielburger continued his crusade in Brazil. It was on the streets of Salvador, Brazil, that Craig learned the firsthand stories of street children. In this easy-to-read, full-color illustrated children’s book, the reader learns about the joys of these very children.

A cut above your typical children’s book, this true story culminates in a soccer game using a plastic bottle as a ball. After the game ends, it is a young child named José that shows Craig the true meaning of selflessness by giving him his prized possession — literally the soccer jersey off his back. Perfect for young readers, this adventure reveals how the universal act of generosity defies borders.
