How many people have you heard say they could never run a marathon? Pick your excuse, but someone over 100 could legitimately use age as an excuse to bow out. But Fauja Singh didn't make excuses, he just become the first centenarian to run a marathon! The children's book Fauja Singh Keeps Going tells his inspiring story. The story, written by Simran Jeet Singh and illustrated by Bajlinder Kaur, shows the hardships Fauja had to overcome as a child, talks about his Sikh faith, and, most of all, shows his love of running. This is a fun, cute book that should inspire all kinds of runners.
Thanks to Edelweiss and the publisher for the complimentary electronic review copy!
