Features: This book is a classic of Australian children's literature and has been translated into over 30 languages. It has also been adapted into a film and won major awards. This autobiographical novel tells the true story of an optimistic, confident, and self-respecting child with a disability who bravely fights against fate and ultimately achieves success. The young protagonist contracted polio in his childhood, but despite his physical limitations, he never fell behind normal children in activities like climbing, swimming, or horseback riding. He always believed: If others can do it, I can certainly do it too. This spirit of perseverance and self-reliance is exactly what millions of children and teenagers in China need today.
