Annabel Tempest (Illustrator)

Welcome to a glorious new nonfiction tome covering 15 absolutely true stories of incredible human beings, each of whom are extraordinary - not by luck, but by sheer tenacity and hard work. I loved that I met both familiar and unfamiliar faces with the pages, each one with a remarkable story to tell. What great role models for young readers!
