Description

For each book sold 50p will be paid to Comic Relief.

Published in partnership with Comic Relief, Lenny Henry tells the inspiring story of the talented British comedian determined to make the world laugh.  Ever since he was small, Lenny Henry wanted to be a comedian.

At home in Dudley, England, he would pretend to be the characters he watched on TV, copying scenes from his favourite shows to entertain his six brothers and sisters.

But life wasn't always easy, and at school Lenny found himself the subject of racist bullying—until he figured out a way to beat the bullies using humour.

This was when he realised he had a gift: he could make people laugh.

He shot to fame aged 16 and the following decades were full of great successes, such as his hugely popular TV programme The Lenny Henry Show. Lenny co-founded the charity Comic Relief in response to a terrible famine in East Africa.

Over 25 years later, Lenny and the charity remain committed to creating a just world, free from poverty, and have raised millions of pounds.

An actor, a comedian, an author and a champion of inclusivity, Lenny is a much-loved figure whose story encourages us to keep smiling.  This inspiring book features stylish and quirky illustrations and extra facts at the back, including a biographical timeline with historical photos and a detailed profile of the incredible comedian and activist's life. Little People, BIG DREAMS is a bestselling biography series for kids that explores the lives of outstanding people, from designers and artists to scientists and activists.

All of them achieved incredible things, yet each began life as a child with a dream. This empowering series of books offers inspiring messages to children of all ages, in a range of formats.

The board books are told in simple sentences, perfect for reading aloud to babies and toddlers.

The hardback and paperback versions present expanded stories for beginning readers.

With rewritten text for older children, the treasuries each bring together a multitude of dreamers in a single volume.

You can also collect a selection of the books by theme in boxed gift sets.

Activity books and a journal provide even more ways to make the lives of these role models accessible to children. Inspire the next generation of outstanding people who will change the world with Little People, BIG DREAMS!
