Little People, Big Dreams: Ernest Shackleton

Written by Maria Isabel Sanchez Vegara and illustrated by Olivia Holden

This charming illustrated book is part of a series about people who achieved incredible things - yet each began life as a child with a dream.

Young Ernest grew up on a farm in County Kildare, Ireland.  From an early age, he dreamt of travelling far and wide - further than any traveller had been before.  His passion for exploration and eternal optimism inspired him to lead one of history's most treacherous journeys in the Antarctic.  This inspiring story of the explorer and mariner features a facts and photos section at the back.

A delightful book to share your love of this amazing man with your children/grandchildren.
