*** ‘Every child should read this‘ *** – Amazon review
Bestselling children’s author and human rights campaigner Onjali Raúf invites young readers to discover everything there is to know about kindness, empathy, friendship and fighting for the things that matter. (Not to mention cool things like using our inbuilt X-ray vision and detecting negative forces!)
With the help of her favourite fictional characters (from She-Ra to Superman), some of the inspiring people she has been honoured to work with, and a few of her biggest inspirations (from Frederick Douglas to Malala Yousafzai), Onjali motivates budding young activists, showing them that no one is too small to make a difference.
Because with a bit of compassion, a big dollop of hope and even the smallest act of kindness, magical things can happen. Hope is on the horizon; here’s how children everywhere can find it . . .
Onjali Q. Raúf is the founder of Making Herstory, an organisation mobilising men, women and children from all walks of life to tackle the abuse and trafficking of women and girls in the UK and beyond. She is also the founder of O’s Refugee Aid Team, which provides support for refugee families surviving in Calais and Dunkirk.
She is an award-winning and best-selling author of books for children that tackle the issues of today. Her titles include The Boy at the Back of the Class, The Star Outside My Window, The Night Bus Hero, and The Lion Above the Door.
Pippa Curnick grew up in rural Essex and studied at Camberwell College of Art. She graduated from the University of Derby with a First Class degree in illustration. Pippa’s picture book Lucie Goose was shortlisted for the Evening Standard’s Oscar’s First Book Prize.

I am a children’s book illustrator living in Worthing with my lovely boyfriend and kitten.
I absolutely love what I do and especially love the beginning of projects when i can let my imagination go and create the characters and the worlds they live in.
I have been lucky enough to work in the world of children’s publishing for the last 6 years and have had a lot of fun meeting all the talented writers, designers and editors who I get to work with.
