About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is grappling with physical differences or feeling like their body might limit their dreams. This biography is less about the technicalities of hockey and more about the psychological shift from being different to being exceptional. It follows Declan Farmer, who was born without full legs, as he transforms his athletic passion into Paralympic gold. Through clear and accessible prose, the story highlights themes of resilience, identity, and the importance of finding a community where you belong. For children aged 7 to 10, it serves as a powerful mirror for those with disabilities and a vital window for those without. It offers a grounded, realistic look at how hard work and a growth mindset can turn a perceived disadvantage into a world-class talent.
