There is so much to love about this non-fiction picture book about Fauja Singh. First of all the message to never give up on yourself. Secondly, I love the line that is regularly repeated in the book, "You know yourself, and you know what you are capable of. Today is a chance to do your best." I think this is something we should all say to ourselves each day. Lastly, I have never never found any enjoyment in running, and usually avoid it, so for Fauja to work on this skill, and achieve greatness at 100yrs old is to be applauded. He not only did it for himself, but to show the world around him, who had shown intolerance towards Sikhs, that they too are amazing and an important part of our world. So much power to this beautiful story.
"At the finish line, our reward is in every step that carried us there."
