Laurie Ann Thompson
(J Nonfiction - J 362.4092 Tho)

Born in Ghana, West Africa, with one deformed leg, he was dismissed by most people--but not by his mother, who taught him to reach for his dreams. He rode an astonishing four hundred miles across Ghana in 2001, spreading his powerful message: disability is not inability. Recommended for ages 5+
