an all-star look at Canada's Paralympians

Though the Paralympics are the third largest sporting event in the world, they dont always get their dueand so, in advance of the upcoming Paralympic Games (scheduled for summer 2021 and winter 2022), this book invites children to discover and celebrate the sports movement, through the impressive achievements of some of Canadas Paralympic stars. Chantal Petitclerc, Benoît Huot, Alison Levine, Ahmad Zeividavi and many others tell us about their journeys as athletes, challenges theyve faced along the way, and insights into the particularities of parasports. Created in collaboration with the Canadian Paralympic Committee, Amazing Athletes promotes the Paralympic movement that continues to change perceptions of excellence, diversity and disability around the world. A book for kids and adults alike, it is an invitation for readers (with or without disabilities) to discover new role models and be inspired to reach new heights of their own
