The Best Days of My Life: Childhood Stories of Famous People
Children's Books
An inspiring book about the childhoods of some of the famous people who have walked this earth and left an indelible imprint on our lives.
Overview
This book’s success can be measured by its being consistently reprinted several times a year, since it was first published in 2008. Written to answer a fundamental curiosity – what were great people like as children – it tells the stories of 25 iconic figures. The shy and sensitive boy, afraid of the dark, who became one of the greatest and most courageous leaders the world has known. The four-year-old who played a tune on the harmonium even when its keys were covered with a cloth, and later went on to be a musical genius. The prince who rescued and revived a dying swan from his hunter cousin’s arrow. The biggest takeaway from this book is: If all great people were children at some time, all children have it in them to be great!
